Nundle Community Garden Mural

**Artist **Natasha Soonchild

**Production date **2023

Local artist Natasha Soonchild created this artwork to celebrate Nundle and Hanging Rock's homegrown food and gardening culture.Natasha grew up in Nundle and after studying and working elsewhere, returned to Nundle and opened Stormcrow Studio.

Natasha says "This mural tells a story inspired by the verdant environment of Nundle through the prism of old botanical drawings, a great passion of mine. My aim was for it to be a poetic storytelling showcasing the abundance of our local nature and connection to the land. It is a celebration of nature, its colours, variety, poetry and tenacity.

Thank you to the Nundle Land Care Group, the Nundle Community Garden and Tamworth Gallery for trusting me with this mural, I hope it shows the love I hold for this land, its people and the magic I feel at the heart of Nundle."

The mural was offically opened on the 10 November 2023.
