About Christine and the blog

I am a former Greens Senator for Tasmania, and former Leader of the Australian Greens and passionate gardener. I was brought up on a dairy farm in northern Tasmania and have always felt a strong connection to the land. These days, with my focus on climate change, I see gardens – home gardens, community gardens, school gardens – and eating local as a key part of growing a sustainable future.
