Planting Party

A celebration of community-led environmental action, art and plants, marking the start of spring.

To celebrate our month of community-led volunteer plantings held in August across Melbourne and beyond, Fed Square and Creative Climate are throwing a family-friendly Planting Party!

If you joined a Planting event in August, Planting Party will be an opportunity to reconnect with community groups and volunteers and perhaps make new friends. If you missed Planting, don’t worry – you are invited to the party too!

The day will be full of music, ceremony, art and conversation, where you can explore a plant market, enjoy delicious food and learn from Elders and First Nations knowledge holders about caring for Country.

Throughout the day, you can join in a hands-on propagation or creative workshop led by artists and plant experts – and meet with passionate environmentalists from local community groups working to protect our landscapes and waterways through collective grassroots action.

The exciting line-up of live music includes Riff Raff Marching Band and the Climate Choir alongside music from DJs Darcy Justice, General Vibes, Tess Monoghan and Elsie.

• When: 5 September at Fed Square.

• 10am - 3pm

Planting is commissioned and presented by Fed Square in partnership with Creative Climate. 

Planting is generously supported by Creative Victoria, Creative Australia, Bupa, Melbourne Water and Burndap Birrarung burndap umarkoo collaboration, Now or Never and Landcare
