How a community garden in Alice Springs helps preserve Indigenous languages
In short: This segment explores a unique community initiative in Mparntwe where gardening serves as a vital tool for strengthening Indigenous languages. It offers a look at how cultural heritage and horticulture intersect in the Northern Territory.
Located on Arrernte Country in Alice Springs, the Alice Springs Language Centre uses plants as a medium to support and maintain local Indigenous languages. By integrating botanical engagement with linguistic preservation, the centre creates a space where community members can connect with their heritage through the land.
The project highlights the role of community-led initiatives in safeguarding cultural identity. Gardening Australia features this work as part of its broader mission to provide horticultural inspiration and practical knowledge to viewers across the country.
