Event description

Come along to the Test Garden at Fed Square for the first in a monthly series of open days.

Hear from gardeners, designers and horticulturalists about the naturalistic planting style and flowers in bloom, and take part in workshops designed to connect you with nature.

In this first session, hear from plant practitioner and director of Super Bloom, Jac Semmler, and landscape architect and principal at Hassell, Susie Quinton, from the design team for Laak Boorndap.

Join us in the garden for an informal presentation on the plants in season in the Test Garden, how to create a flourishing garden in dry summer conditions, and the importance of biodiversity in urban spaces.

Please bring a hat and water bottle.
The Test Garden is located next to Skyline Car Park (Wilson Parking) on Russell St Extension.

For thousands of years, the land around Birrarung (the Yarra River) has been Melbourne’s meeting place – an area of cultural significance for First Peoples and a place of creative expression. Today the site is home to the Melbourne Arts Precinct; a vibrant creative community and the artistic heart of our city.

Fed Square is the gateway to the art precinct – and as Melbourne’s public square it is the civic, cultural and community heart of the city. It also home to three of Victoria’s major cultural institutions: ACMI – Australia’s Museum of Screen Culture, the Koorie Heritage Trust (KHT) and The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia.

Located opposite the iconic Flinders St Station, Fed Square is also Melbourne’s premier meeting place, tourist destination and event venue for thousands of events a year – since opening in 2002, it has seen more than 110 million visits.

In 2019, Fed Square was listed on the Victorian Heritage Register, the youngest building in Australia to ever be recognised in this way.
