Back in 2019 we visited Kat Lavers at her urban permaculture property, The Plummery. We were awed not just by the abundance of food growing in her tiny back yard, but by her approach to life, her household and community practices, and her wonderful eloquence. That film has been a hit – 2.2 million views to date on YouTube and over 1500 comments that are overwhelmingly inspired, excited, loving and grateful to Kat for her quiet wisdom. The film was also selected in four international film festivals.
It’s been on our mind to film with Kat again – to see if things have changed in the garden and in her thinking. Happily Kat was equally excited to share an update and even expand on her insights into inner-city gardening and living. We shot a revisit film with her in December 2024, just at the start of Melbourne’s summer, and this time Kat spoke about creating resilience both in our gardens and in our homes. We also get to see some of the very cool critters that maintain her garden’s thriving ecosystem.
