Urban gardens and food growing with Phil Dudman

We live, work, and dream on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lands. We acknowledge them as holding deep ecological knowledge and their ability to live sustainably in harmony with the land. They and other ancient cultures are roots of permaculture—working with nature, fostering resilience, and ensuring balance for future generations.

In this weeks chat, Phil Dudman shares his journey into gardening and permaculture, discussing the importance of community, the practicality of urban gardening, and the design elements that contribute to a successful garden.

He emphasises the learning process through experience, the joy of gardening as a lifestyle, and the benefits of growing food in small spaces.
