Saturday Nursery Talk – From Bush to Plate and Back Again

As we head towards a potentially hotter and drier summer, join Xamina Mitchell from the Community Environment Network’s Wildplant Nursery and Tanya Mottl from Narara Ecovillage for an informal conversation about strengthening both biodiversity and food resilience across the Central Coast.

Food is about much more than what’s on our plate. It connects us to health, landscape, community, affordability and our ability to respond when circumstances change. Where is food being grown locally? What threatens our food and ecosystems? Who is already doing great work? And could a Central Coast food map help us connect growers, producers, community initiatives and consumers? And then let’s think about habitat and wildlife and how to protect it one garden at a time.

CEN’s Wildplant Nursery Manager, Xamina Mitchell, is rewilding the Central Coast one garden at a time. Hear Xamina explain CEN’s garden consultations for properties under half an acre in size. If you want to start a wildplant garden, attract birds and insects and include edible natives, you cannot miss this talk!

Come curious. Bring what you know. Meet others interested in creating a more connected and regenerative Central Coast. Harty soup included in ticket price.

Saturday 5 September | 11am–12.30pm | CEN Nursery Sale Day
