- Title
Garden as Education: Learning the 'Old Ways' of Traditional Mediterranean Food Practices.
- Authors
HARRISSON, FIONA
- Abstract
A former red-brick housing commission house in the bay-side suburbs of Melbourne has been transformed by Mark Dymiotis to replicate traditional village Mediterranean practices of his heritage. For many years, people have come into the garden through the Council of Adult Education and the Open Garden scheme to learn wine making and bread baking and other traditional Greek--Mediterranean everyday food practices. Mark draws on his own heritage and the knowledge of older people, the migrants who brought these practices to this land, about which he has been researching, writing and teaching for over 20 years. The garden is a platform for teaching about healthy and affordable everyday dietary practices.
