this event takes place on unceded Arakwal Land and may involve the use of native plant species. as descendants of settlers who have benefited from colonisation, we pay our deepest respect to the rightful custodians of this land and acknowledge their ongoing care for Country as well as the vastness of Indigenous plant knowledge and artistic expression.

plant displays will be carefully selected to minimise disturbance to local ecosystems and no native plants will be killed for the sake of this event. it is our hope that this event will encourage environmental stewardship and reduce plant blindness

10% of ticket sales will be donated to Jagun Alliance, to support their work Caring for Country.
