This Saturday, June 2rd 1-3pm, at the MECCARG - Merri Murnong Patch
This months activity focus is murnong and lilies.
This Saturday we will plant some into the patch but we will be mainly potting up into styrofoam boxes for fostering.
This is to fatten up Murnongs (yam daisies), bulbines lilies, blue grass lilies and milkmaids, which all are edible tuberous species we eat in November after roasting them in earth ovens.
They are all harvested the day before the celebration of the'10th Murnong Gathering' on 11th November 2018.
The day we dig them up is an amazing insight into the secrets of these fascinating plants and being involved develops a strong connection to the celebration the following day. Please come along this weekend to help and put the Celebration on the 11th November into your calendar
All you require is some curiosity about these plants and readiness to get your hands dirty (gloves provided).
Look forward to seeing you and having cuppa afterward.
Hope to see you there!
