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.

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.
