Kate joins a panel of experts to discuss how plants enrich our lives. Kate presents the many ways gardening and time spent in greenspaces has a positive impact on our wellbeing and sense of connection and belonging. She argues never has this been more celebrated and valued than during the current COVID-19 pandemic and calls for future urban design to better consider how all people can have access to greenspaces, especially in times of lockdown and increased isolation.
Acknowledgement of Country
I wish to acknowledge the traditional owners of the lands across this country we call Australia and pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging. I live on Bundjalung Country of the Arakwal People. I am privileged to work across many countries including Eora, Biripi, Bundjalung, Wiradjuri, Barkindji and Kulin.
These are, and always will be Aboriginal Lands.
I also acknowledge my responsibility to better embed Indigenous traditional knowledge within the field of Therapeutic Horticulture, to decolonise predominant theories used in the field, to remain aware of and challenge learned and subconscious racism, and to privilege the voices of Indigenous traditional Elders and their communities within my projects.
