A month of community-led planting events around Naarm (Melbourne) and beyond, where you can connect with others and help regenerate local environments.

This August, put your hands in the ground and help look after our landscapes, creeks and rivers for the better, as part of Planting.

Each event will be guided and led by passionate ecological groups who are dedicated to practices like restoring grasslands, regenerating habitat for bats, and increasing biodiversity.

Accompanying the act of planting, each community event will include a range of cultural activities, such as Smoking Ceremonies, cultural walks, constructing bee hotels, music, readings, botanical drawing and nature journalling.

Planting will be held in the lead up to Planting Party – a celebration of community-led environmental action, art and connection at Fed Square held in September, and presented as part of RESET.

Find a local Planting event near you, register now, and get ready to join in a community planting this August. Then mark your diary for Planting Party on 5 September!

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

Fed Square and Creative Climate gratefully thank our partners for making Planting possible: Creative Victoria, Creative Australia, Bupa, Melbourne Water and Burndap Birrarung burndap umarkoo collaboration, Now or Never and Landcare
