Activate Saplings invites you to our songdowner picnic at the Murdoch Community Garden!

In the lead up to our tree planting festival in June, we’re gathering in this little-known sweet spot for live tunes from local singer/songwriters, connection, and bit of fiscal support 😉

This is our second year of holding an Activate tree-planting event created for and by the next generation of environmental stewards. We truly believe in the power of healing the land while holding space for people of our generation to connect through music, nature and food.

🌱 🌳 🌱 🌳 🌱 🌳 🌱 🌳

In June, we’ll be planting 36,000 seedlings in Nomans Lake! Backed by ATP, Trillion Trees and State NRM, and supported by you, we can make this happen. Please join us on Sunday 23 April from 3-7 pm for an evening of good vibes and to hear more about the Saplings festival.

All proceeds will go towards creating the community festival surrounding our tree-planting event. We are all volunteers and receive no profits from this venture!

At Regrowth, you can expect:

Live music, a bite to eat, and so much tea you'll just have to try the composting toilets (don't fear - there are regular loos too)
Saplings t-shirts with our groovy, hand-printed design
Raffle tickets for possibly the most lovingly-crafted raffle prizes you have ever met!
