Millie visits ceramacist Tania Verdez, whose work reflects her love of gardening, and whose garden reflects her love of art. Subscribe: http://ab.co/GA-subscribe The half-hectare block was a bare, flat paddock when they first built their mud-brick home in 2010. The first thing she planted was an olive tree and she became quite emotional thinking that she would actually get to see this tree grow to maturity. Tania says her childhood was quite traumatic with not much money and many moves to different places, “but my mum would always garden - she loved gardening and was always trying to improve things”. She never knew her father but recently met his family and learnt that he was a green thumb too. The vegie garden is very productive, especially her tomato plants that are twined around a single string buried under its roots and tied to an overhead structure: “You get less fruit off each plant but you can grow more plants and get better airflow around each one, so less diseases,” she says. There are native plants for cut flowers include Billy Buttons, Poppies and Tea Tree, and she uses Snow gums a lot in her work. Many of Tania’s pieces are whimsical and fun: “I think about the future owners getting a bit of a laugh and joy from the pieces.” “This is my first real home and I wanted my kids to have a place where they had roots and felt secure.” Filmed on Dja Dja Wurrung Country in Daylesford, Vic Featured plants: Peperomia ‘Watermelon’ (Peperomia argyreia) Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum cv.)
