Weed Walk
Weed WalkIncludes entry to TarraWarra Biennial 2021: Slow Moving Waters, curated by Nina MiallJoin avid forager and food gardener, Doris Pozzi, and artist, Caitlin Franzmann, for a one hour guided weed walk around the grounds of the Museum. Discover the healing properties and possible uses of plants that have been deemed ‘unwanted’ along the edge of the lake and within the rolling lawns, whilst discussing the values that underpin such classifications. How do we work with weeds responsibly? What are the plants telling us—about the soil, about the climate, about history? How do we listen? Bring your boots! If the weather is too wet, undercover options will be available. Doris Pozzi has been an avid forager and food gardener most of her life, starting out in an Italian household in Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs and more recently moving to a small acreage forest garden in the beautiful Yarra Valley. As her passion for edible weeds developed Doris found herself doing more and more research to discover the range of weeds available locally, their properties and ways of preparing them in the kitchen. Her books Edible Weeds and Garden Plants of Melbourne and Wild Mushrooms – The Beginner’s Foraging Guide grew out of that interest. |
