The students at St Joseph's School Hindmarsh have grown over 1000 native plants used by Karuna people for food, fibre, medicinal and traditional uses and want to share them with our community.
If you would like some native plants for your garden, please email Deidre and we will arrange pick up and interpretive signage.

There are four distinct weather periods recognised in the Kaurna Miyurna seasonal cycle, as well as winds which can act as seasonal indicators. The mapping of Kaurna seasons to the Australian calendar is approximate as the seasons are very changeable.
Learn more about each season in the downloads below.
Many thanks to Uncle Michael Kumatpi Marrutya O'Brien for permission to use the Kaurna season calendar and related information on the Indigenous Weather Knowledge website is given by the Elders/Directors of Kaurna.
Thank you to the SA Museum for providing the image of well-known Kaurna Elder Ivaritji Wartapukarra - seen within the Kaurna Seasonal Calendar Wheel wrapped in possum skin. The photo was taken in 1928. Source: Australian Bureau of Meteorology, http://www.bom.gov.au/iwk/calendars/kaurna.shtml
