Welcome to another issue of Pip, proudly brought to you from the lands of the Thawa people of the Yuin Nation. This issue is a celebration of all that is beautiful in the world and all the beautiful things that are around us that we can incorporate into our lives.

From the pure simple beauty of growing food in your garden that you can bring into your home and eat, from sweet juicy summer melons (page 32) and Asian greens (page 38) to the wild foods (page 66) that are growing all around us but in the absence of the knowledge to recognise them, are hidden from view.
