A day in the life of the First Nations people, thousands of years ago

Clarence Slockee, landscape designer, presenter, connecting people to Country

Clarence is a Cudgenburra/Bundjalung Aboriginal man from the lush Tweed Valley.
Perhaps best known for being a presenter on ABC TV’s Gardening Australia, he spent 10 years at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney as the Aboriginal Education Officer.
He is director of his own landscape design company, Jiwah, which employs young Aboriginal people and designs, creates and promotes green spaces among urban landscapes. Jiwah maintains three special green spaces in Sydney’s South Eveleigh precinct, including the 500-square-metre Australian native rooftop farm, which has more than 2,000 plants, and more than 60 edible, medicinal and culturally significant native plant species.
Clarence’s mission is to connect people with the natural world and the Aboriginal country they frequent through the rejuvenation of urban green space, and to educate the public.
