Avondale/Waterview historian Lisa Truttman will explore the stories of Avondale's Chinese market gardeners, from Ah Chee's purchase of land on Rosebank Road, to the latter days of such enterprises on Rosebank and New Windsor.
Hear about the public opposition to the Sunday work of the Cantonese immigrants, and the acts of kindness by the growers to their neighbours in need.
On display, a variety of Chinese vegetables and recipes that promote good health.
