Ep.26 Yurbay: First Nations plant wisdom - Adam Shipp

Plants Grow Here - Horticulture, Landscape Gardening & Ecology

Adam Shipp is the creator of Yurbay, an organisation in Canberra which introduces people of all walks of life to traditional Aboriginal wisdom and helps them reconnect to the beautiful nature of his area. He speaks about his roots as a proud Aboriginal man, some of the uses of native plants, and explains how the dreamtime isn't something that happened a long time ago: it's something that goes on forever and every animal and plant goes through cycles to experience their own dreaming.
