#Australia - Creating an #Indigenous plant-use #garden: harvesting
April 14, 2022, #LandCareAustralia
"The satisfaction of eating straight from the garden is one of life’s best learning experiences, however we need to be respectful and mindful to only harvest what we need to allow the plant to continue to thrive for generations to come.
This activity involves the assessment and mapping of local environments to create a successful and thriving Indigenous plant-use garden.
To understand local perspectives and support these activities, we recommend reaching out to the local #TraditionalOwners and #FirstNations peoples community groups who can assist in knowledge sharing and understanding local land, histories and culture. This is an important consideration to ensure that any reconciliation initiatives are being driven in a local, meaningful way.
This learning activity is the last part of a sequence of 6 individual learning activities focused on creating an Indigenous plant-use garden. The order of these learning activities are: resources from the bush, vision, plant list, site assessment, planting and harvesting.
Landcare is an amazing grass roots, volunteer movement that harnesses individuals and groups under the ethic of caring for the land. There are approximately 6,000 volunteer environmental group across Australia that fall under the Landcare umbrella. The movement focuses on the sustainable management of all of Australia's natural resource assets and encompasses individuals and groups across the whole landscape from coastal to urban and remote areas of Australia."

#RoyalRoadsUniversity recently unveiled its new #Indigenous #MedicineGarden – a project designed to give #students and #community members a chance to learn about #plants that the #Lekwungen speaking peoples have used since time immemorial.
Solara Goldwynn, Royal Roads' farm and #FoodSystems lead, and Kenneth Elliot, #EthnoBotanist and #CowichanElder, chose the garden’s colourful mix of plants, most of which grow naturally in the traditional territories of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples (southern #VancouverIsland and the #SanJuanIslands and #GulfIslands

CW: Thread about seeds and politics
I remember Cheryl Bryce talking about how war and colonization doesn’t only happen to humans, it happens to the rest of the inhabitants of the land as well. That invasive species are a form of colonization. I started growing qʷɬáʔəl (kwetlal, camas) because so many people in this podcast emphasized that settlers can and should learn to propagate Indigenous plants.

Strolling along the #Upfield railway line
#eucalyptus “Gum nuts”
#acacia new growth on #wattleLocals weed out exotics, then layer with cardboard - sourced from local factory bins - and finally mulch to repel weeds and retain moisture; before planting out with indigenous local seed sourced seedlings.
Islands of these plantings are then linked by tunnels/connecting corridors of #indigenousplants eg acacia, eucalypts, grasses, sheoaks to reestablish habitat for native insects and birds etc. -
