Edible West End ~ A Foraging Tour of The Streets of West End Brisbane

http://forgreenies.com
Coconuts, mangos, tamarind, olives... anyone would think we were walking around an orchard. It was a day of plant identification and tastebud tantilisation at the 'Culture Club' walking tour of West End's edible streets last month.

Planting fruit trees and other edibles instead of ornamentals in public spaces such as parks and nature strips provides a nutritious snack to passers by, can control grass and weed growth and be low maintenance and look beautiful!

Respectful 'foraging ethics' were observed such as being mindful of how much you take and whether it is yours for the taking, not going onto private property without first getting permission, and giving back by planting cuttings or seedlings for future foragers.

sweet. I live about an hour north of there, and although not many others grow food around here, there are a few fruit trees left untended near the footpath here and there. I too like to seed the unproductive grassy areas, macadamias nut are great to leave lying around, as they sprout fairly easily. Avocados prefer fertile soil, but can be planted just below the ground, if there is lantana plant avos as the soil there will be made fertile by the lantana. There are so many things to plant.
