Grasses of the Merri Merri

Come and join ecologist Michael Longmore from Merri Creek Management Committee and garden coordinator Kate Hill for a grass ID event. We will start at Newlands Neighbourhood House Garden, then make our way down to and along a stretch of the Merri Creek, before returning to the house. Throughout the walk we will stop to ID and learn about indigenous grasses.
