Costa explores the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney, a place that has an extremely long history as a community garden that extends back thousands of years. It was a special place for the local Cadigal people and other Indigenous tribes of the Sydney area as the site was abundant with bush tucker – an important aspect of ceremonies, meetings, and socialising. Taking some inspiration from Royal Botanic Gardens, Costa builds a bush tucker garden at Alexandria Park Community School with the help of some of its pupils.

Costa explores Melbourne’s Kevin Heinze Garden Centre where people with disabilities get their hands in the dirt, do something physical and experience the sensory delights of the space. It’s a space where people can see, hear, touch, smell and taste a variety of plants and flowers. The Maidstone Community Centre also wishes to create this type of garden for their members and Costa transforms their overgrown backyard into a sensory haven where people can interact and connect with nature. It’s a philosophy that the Abbott of the Quang Mihn Buddhist Temple endorses – we need to create harmony and balance between the environment and our use of it which is why the Temple has installed a commercial worm farm to recycle the Temple’s waste.
