On July 6 we launched an exciting new group called BMEG (Brisbane Multicultural Edible Gardeners) to learn from, share with and celebrate the wonderful multicultural food gardeners and foodies in Brisbane and surrounds. So far it's been

BMEG is all about celebrating the rich multicultural edible gardening community in and around Brisbane. If your specific cultural background is or has been a strong influence in your life, or you've lived overseas, shaping your food growing stories, education, attitudes and practices, you’re going to love BMEG!

Brisbane boasts a very diverse multicultural community. Did you know that Brisbane is now the second fastest growing multicultural city in the world? That title makes for some amazing cultures sharing their food growing and culinary traditions, info, skills, knowledge, events, produce and networking with us all.

Whether you were born in Australia or not, and whether you arrived over 50 years ago or just recently, this group is a fun place to share your rich food growing heritage with us, in Australia or from your original country. Australia was built on multiculturalism and there’s so much to learn and share about our countries of origin, including our own wonderful indigenous cultures.

All edible gardeners, food growers, urban farmers, organic and biodynamic practitioners, permaculturists and natural gardeners welcome to join the BMEG Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/508649532601627

Please help us spread the word. Welcome and enjoy!
