Event description
Transform your nature strip into a beautiful street garden that will attract pollinators and support local biodiversity.
Come along and join this Nature Strip Planting workshop presented by The Heart Gardening Project’s founder Emma Cutting.
Emma has transformed dozens of nature strips and public spaces in our local community, and she is now focusing on expanding the Melbourne Pollinator Corridor, an 8km community-driven, ecology-centred wildlife corridor connecting Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne and Westgate Park.
In this workshop, Emma will take you through the steps needed to prepare your nature strip for planting, she’ll introduce you to some of the best plants for attracting pollinators and she’ll share her passion and knowledge for connecting people to nature.
If you have any access or support requirements in order to participate fully (eg. interpreter), please let us know prior to the event and we will be pleased to assist you. Photos and video will be taken at this event, but there is an option to opt out on the day.
This My Smart Garden event is proudly presented by City of Port Phillip on the land of the people of the Kulin Nations. City of Port Phillip and My Smart Garden pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging and acknowledges that First Nations peoples have cared for Country sustainably for tens of thousands of years.
