Eat the City


Never mind Godzilla. Imagine a marauding aloe vera stretching its tentacles above the skyline. Bernadette Trench-Thiedman has. She’s made architectural models of cityscapes and planted them with edible and non-edible plants. Eat the City re-imagines ‘the urban environment transformed by plants in ridiculous, beautiful and sometimes violent ways.’ It’s in the Degraves Underpass. Watch it grow, til 28 June.

Google 'Heather Ackroyd' and'Dan Harvey' for more nature-reclaiming art. They make amazing stuff.

Slow guides

The Slow Guides are for anybody who wants to slow down and live it up, seachange without shifting postcode. They celebrate all that’s local, natural, traditional, sensory and most of all gratifying about living in Sydney and Melbourne. Click on a book for a preview.

How to buy a book

Start off slow and get your book the old-fashioned way; pop into a store and say g’day. But if you’re too entranced with what’s happening in your garden, or too preoccupied gazing on a cloud, you could always order one online.
