Join Aunty Jo Russell to learn about the rich history and use of native Australian plants, offering a deeper understanding of how these plants have sustained and nurtured Indigenous communities for thousands of years.

‘Hi my name is Aunty Jo Russell and my ancestors are the Wiradjuri peoples of NSW.

My knowledge of Bushtucker, Fibre and Medicine Plants comes from my years of studying and teaching Conservation and Land Management with cultural heritage at the Indigenous Education Centre, Kangan Institute, Broadmeadows.

I will be sharing my knowledge on how we can grow the indigenous plants of the land we live on for sustainable food development’.
Aunty Jo also runs a great Indigenous Community Garden in Westmeadows.
