Open Nature: The Heart Gardening Project – guided walk and book talk Past Event

Presented by Open House Melbourne


Presented by The Heart Gardening Project, Open House Melbourne.

The Heart Gardening Project is a community initiative bringing humans and nature together joyfully through street gardening. Join Emma Cutting – founder of The Heart Gardening Project (THGP) – for a special guided walk of community gardens in the City of Port Phillip and a Q+A session reflecting on the Melbourne Pollinator Corridor handbook. The book, which acts as an accessible guide to gardening for native bees and street gardening, will be available for sale on the day and can also be purchased in advance from THGP’s website. All proceeds go to the not-for-profit community organisation.
