our suburbs are a gleaners paradise, the overhanging branches and diverse pickings are tribute to Brisbane's bountiful subtropical climate and multicultural heritage. the edible streets tour offers an introduction to foods, fungi, weeds and other functional plants that inhabit our urban environment. along the way we discuss the ethical considerations of harvesting, share maps, surplus and ideas to contribute to our edible landscapes. thanks to the wonderful folks at Forgreenies you can now view a short video and photo gallery of the previous edible streets tour now screening on the Permablitz Brisbane website.

“It was a joyous day filled with collaborative spirit, and I gained an appreciation for the local abundance that our streets offer."

sound like fun? join us for the next tour at 10am, 10th July. meet at the corners of Boundary and Vulture Streets, West End. this week we'll be splitting into groups and mapping out the area around Hardgrave Road and Hill End, after the walk we'll be learning how to add our findings to a collaborative online map! check out the website for a preview:
