Nick Romanowski is widely known for his many books on wetlands and aquaculture, and also books and articles on diverse plant groups with an emphasis on edible species, including regular features for the ABC’s The Organic Gardener magazine.

He and his wife Jan Ratcliff have also established orchards of nearly 400 fruit and nut trees on their property in the Otway Ranges of southern Victoria. Over the past twelve years Nick has been researching and taking photos for a practical guide to all the grains (and many other grasses) grown worldwide, from cool areas with a short growing season to the tropics.

This workshop will emphasise the grains, bamboos and other seed crops suited to south-eastern Australia, including growing, harvesting, storing and processing on a small scale, whether for personal use or livestock.
