Here is a beautiful celebration of what I have been up to the last few years. Since the start of covid there has been an overwhelming interest in the work I have been chipping away at for decades. Its been an exciting but really challenging time. Huge disruption, community division, devastating floods and lots of personal challenge amongst it all. I am so grateful through this time to have this project to keep me grounded in what is real and valuable in this world for me. Huge gratitude to Flavia Assuncao @luacristalvermelha for her dedication, hard work and inspiration to keep going with it all thru this time. Huge gratitude too for lightning man Evan Benson Anderson for his vision, hard work and initiative - and so much learning from your own whacky genius in the plant world. Appreciation too for The Farm at Byron Bay - I am inspired by the potential for what this space can evolve into. So too Three Blue Ducks Byron Bay for supporting our produce and being prepared to try the new and experiment with what seasonal produce this land and our regenerative growing systems can offer up through floods, drought and whatever the world throws at us. And to Paul Daley of a lush forest and Peter Hunt for your artistry in this work. Both of you are incredibly talented artists - and your friendship, dedication to your art and integrity as humans is a constant inspiration to me.

And after years of evolving Growing Roots as a business, we now have the bones of a website to share our work more broadly - I look forward to more time to develop this site - gratitude to Aidan Postle for this intiative and Flavia Assuncao here for hours and hours of work behind the camera capturing images to share our projects. See more of her work at @livingagroecology. And immense appreciation of the whole Living Agroecology team and all the keen volunteers so willingly supporting the project and embodying the ethos of 'learning while doing' which has built the foundations of this project.
