Off to market...Steve Nelson and apprentice Tim from the City of Greater Dandenong dropped by this morning to pick up plants during a La Niña shower. The Cranberry Hibiscus (see video after photo), Sweet Potato, Brazilian Spinach, Konjac, Tamarillo and Cassava are going to be planted in the (mostly) edible Tropical Bed Steve’s team created several years ago just outside the Dandenong Market. The garden bed is designed to help reflect Dandenong’s ethnic diversity- the highest in Victoria - and the diversity of produce in the market itself. The City of Greater Dandenong’s gardeners form one of the most dedicated horticulture teams in Melbourne creating and maintaining gardens from exotic meadows and edible plantings to indigenous grasslands and revegetation #cityofgreaterdandenong #dandenong #dandenongmarket #municipalhorticulture #publicplanting #ediblegardening #tropicalplanting #brazilianspinach #cassava #amorphophalluskonjac #sweetpotatoplant #tamarillo #novelcrops #panc #outreach #backoftheute #apprenticelife #laniña #lamesummer #notcomplaining
