About Maree
A storyteller with one foot in the creative world.
And the other in the soil.
Maree Lowes is an Australian actor, writer and environmental educator, known to many families as dirtgirl from dirtgirlworld and Get Grubby TV. Her work brings storytelling and care for the natural world into the same conversation.
Beyond the screen, her public writing and conversations explore regenerative agriculture, community and our relationship with the places we call home.

Everything is connected.
Three ways into a conversation about how we live, what we notice and the futures we imagine.
Regenerative thinking
Look beyond what we take, to what we can help renew. Explore the relationships between growing food, caring for land and supporting the communities connected to it.
Stories that open doors
A character on screen. A thoughtful conversation. A story shared around a table. Creative work gives us ways to explore complicated ideas and imagine a different future together.
