Welcome to Julia's Edible Weeds

Julia’s Edible Weeds is a tribute to the remarkable legacy of Julia, whose deep connection with herbs, weeds, and the overlooked treasures of nature continues to inspire. Julia’s vast knowledge and heartfelt passion for the marginalised—whether in the plant kingdom or the human experience—shaped her work and teachings. By taking over this business, we aim to honor her vision, keeping her wisdom alive and accessible to all.

Her words remain at the heart of this journey:

Join me on a journey of discovering how wild edible plants and green smoothies can help improve your health and well-being. I’m passionate about edible weeds and leafy greens and I want to show you how to use these highly nutritious foods to boost your health and vitality. My intention is for this site to be a resource for anyone interested in learning how to identify edible weeds and to incorporate them into a healthy diet high in raw foods. I will be updating this site regularly with new findings from my research on edible weeds and flowers, my latest wild edible recipes, and other interesting tidbits on growing organic food and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Aaron Smart, a professional filmmaker has created this lovely little film about my work and my love of weeds and eating them. It was entered in the Byron Bay Film Festival.
