Banyule Loves...Celebrating!

Join us as we celebrate our learnings from year-one of the Banyule Loves...Workshop Series

This no-cost event is our final gathering Banyule Loves...Workshop Series for the year 2025. The aim of this event is to create a space to reflect on our learnings from workshops held throughout the year. We invite participants to showcase your artwork, handicrafts, writing, preserved food, mended clothing or other related creations inspired by the workshop series.

If you've participated in any of the Banyule Loves... workshops, you will receive a certificate of completion. Everyone will have the opportunity to reflect with others about their favourite parts of the workshop series and what you might like to see in the 2026 series.

All attendees will be entered into a prize drawing.

We will celebrate over lunch, so please note dietary needs during registration.

The Banyule Loves...Workshop Series explores the lost art of sustainable, climate-resilient living. The series celebrates the things about Banyule which our community loves- from gardening to connecting to Country to saving money on our energy bills. These workshops will upskill community members while connecting participants to like-minded neighbours. Attendees are entered in a drawing for a prize for participating in each workshop, with the drawing held at the annual wrap-up celebration and showcase event in November. Each attendee will receive a certification of completion for the workshops they attend.

This event takes place during the Buarth Gurru Grass Flowering Season according to the Kulin seasons. The weather is warm, and it is often raining. Kangaroo Grass is flowering and male Common Brown butterflies are flying. The Orion constellation is setting in the western sky around sunrise. This season is short and beautiful, as the temperature continues to warm and we move ever onwards towards dry season, take a moment to appreciate all the flowers and vibrant greens surrounding us.

Banyule City Council is proud to acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people as traditional custodians of the land and we pay respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders, past, present and emerging, who have resided in the area and have been an integral part of the region's history.

Our community is made up of diverse cultures, beliefs, abilities, bodies, sexualities, ages and genders. We are committed to access, equity, participation and rights for everyone: principles which empower, foster harmony and increase the wellbeing of an inclusive community.
