Dinner Club: Planting Grassland Foods

Presented by UMSU Burnley and the Soil and Plant Society, join us for a planting session and a shared meal.

Part two of our series on food, ethnobotany, and the people who carry plants across time.

This session turns to two grasses with deep histories on this land: Themeda (kangaroo grass) and Microlaena (weeping grass) — once staple grains, ground into flour and baked into damper long before introduced crops reshaped the landscape.

We'll start where growing always starts hands in the soil, seed between fingers. As we plant, we'll talk and eat together, sitting with a question that runs through the whole series: what changes when we stop seeing plants as separate from us, and start seeing them as part of us?

RSVPs required and tickets are strictly limited, secure your place HERE.
