• Local indigenous communities benefit. Of their connection and commitment to the local indigenous communities, AIGW says: “Getting our mob back out in the bush working strengthens our connection to our country and we want to be able to work on our country for commercial activities that build, grow and sustain our identity, our culture and our traditions. Not only that, we want to build and sustain our communities and give our mob a sense of purpose and belonging. That is why a percentage of everything we harvest (foliage) will go back into these local indigenous communities as well as employ our people in these communities.”

Different coloured flowers have various meanings, so you might like to choose based on your wedding theme and the meaning behind the flower colour. For example, white is often associated with purity, honesty and integrity, red has a connection to love and passion, pink can be associated with femininity and compassion, while yellow represents friendship and trust.

About

Kerri-Ann Currie and Nathan Nehow with the aim of getting our mob back out in the bush. The reason for this is simple yet powerful. That being, we could strengthen our connection to country, our identity, our culture and traditions and our communities by simply being in the bush working and making a dollar at the same time. The magic that comes with that is we learn what these plants where used for in hunting, medicine, food, culture, seasons and traditions.
