Top 5 Edible Weeds Poster

Annie may write ‘horticulturalist’ when she fills out the Main Occupation box on her tax return, but she considers herself an aesthete first and foremost. (She also usually writes some very small numbers in the Earnings box, yet considers herself incredibly rich.) She takes immense pleasure in the sensual world, and sees enjoying it without destroying it to be her main aim as a human being. She’s keen to help others do the same, and gave up making art in favour of teaching people how to feed themselves sustainably. She has worked on permaculture projects in far-flung countries and co-authored with Adam The Weed Forager’s Handbook: A Guide to Edible and Medicinal Weeds in Australia in Australia and Let’s Eat Weeds: A Kid’s Guide to Foraging. Annie spent a decade at the nursery in CERES Community Environmental Park in Melbourne, and taught over-zealous workshops on soil biology. In between, she finds deserts to walk across, tries to think clever thoughts about the Anthropocene, and lies in her local park reading Thomas Hardy novels and eating homegrown bananas in the sunshine. She currently lives in Western Australia.
