The Towers
From the notorious Brownlie Towers public housing estate comes a new beginning for the residents - a community garden. The estate was originally hailed as a triumph of innovative design and community housing when it was built in the 1970s, but the project failed and the Towers became known throughout Perth as the 'suicide towers'. We learn about the genesis of the Bentley Community Garden and see the site as it was in the beginning - an empty lot.

Clayton
Clayton is the CEO of Perth City Farm and acts as mentor to the Bentley Community Garden. He was born in Australia with Greek heritage and is passionate about gardening and cooking in the Greek tradition. Clayton's grandmother was the longest running continuous resident of Brownlie Towers until 2004, and always wished for a space to grow her own fruits and vegetables. In a quirk of fate Clayton has been able to fulfill her dream of bringing a garden to the Towers. He conducts a seedling workshop with the Brownlie gardeners before inviting us into his home garden where he shares his family recipes for avogolemono and klitheraki.

Clarrie
Clarrie grew up in a remote mining town in WA as one of fourteen children. After losing his property through a bad financial investment he found himself living in Brownlie Towers. He's a jack-of-all-trades and without his practical skills the garden would still be a pipe dream. Clarrie strongly believes that it's high time we took ownership of our food and that the best way to do this is by growing it ourselves. He's an advocate of the ever growing "whole food" philosophy and lives his life accordingly. As gardeners work together to construct the building blocks of the garden, Clarrie share his passion for the super-food chia and a decadent recipe for chia chocolate fudge brownies.

Pablo is from the province of Galicia in northwest Spain, and his partner Sharna hails from a cattle farm in Western Australia's remote gold mining region. They live in the neighborhood of Bentley with their two children Reuben and Ooma. They follow a vegetarian diet and care deeply about where their food comes, successfully cultivating their own veggie garden at home. They joined the Bentley Community Garden to expand their gardening knowledge and make connections with the local community. As the gardeners plant some seedling on the official garden open day, Pablo cooks up a traditional Spanish paella for the workers.

Gilbert
Gilbert, a sixth generation Anglo-Indian, is known for his love of Indian cookery and almost encyclopedic knowledge of the cuisine. Growing up in Delhi, English-style Indian fare was the order of the day and his favourite breakfast was eggs and bacon with chapatti. Joining the garden has gifted Gilbert a sense of community. Gilbert shares his beloved recipes for Anglo-Indian prawn curry and fruit and nut saffron pilau as the gardeners prepare a surprise for him on the garden open day.

Luzviminda
Born in Manila, Luzviminda learnt to cook at an early age and, as a former professional singer and caterer, she's used to having an audience. Her ongoing battle with cancer prevented her from becoming a fully-fledged gardener, instead she brings her mouthwatering home-cooked dishes to the garden as a way of being involved. Today Luzviminda continues to delight residents and gardeners with her big personality and native Filipino cuisine. Luzviminda's sister joins her to help prepare a Filipino-style feast like they used to have back home - cooked and served outside in the garden. The pair cook up vegetable kebabs, mussel and chilli leaf broth and a spectacular dessert called Brazo De Mercedes.
