Come on a foraging walk around Bundanon with wild food expert Diego Bonetto.
Growing up on a dairy farm in northern Italy, where it was still common practice to collect the wild produce of the land, Diego has built a career out of his love of weeds, often exploring concepts around their misuse and waste. Diego is now the best-selling author of the book Eat Weeds – A field guide to foraging.
On this walk, visitors will be guided by Diego across the property to learn about the abundance of common edible and medicinal plants that could be in your own backyard!
Diego Bonetto
The knowledge Diego acquired growing up led him to focus on new ways to share botanical literacy with his audiences and to reconnect communities. To tell the story of plants is his passion, with Diego now running public and private workshops every week, collaborating extensively with chefs, herbalists, environmentalists and cultural workers to promote a new understanding of what the environment has to offer and to enable conversations around belonging, sustainability and agency, while eating food.

Wilder Times
Wilder Times sees the return of a series of Shoalhaven landscape paintings by Arthur Boyd to Bundanon for the first time since their creation in 1984 as a commission for the new Arts Centre Melbourne.
The exhibition also brings together over 60 works by seminal Australian artists from the same time Boyd created this momentous body of work. The exhibition provides a window into a period of cultural dynamism in Australia, when ideas of landscape, land ownership and environmental protection were actively interrogated.
