There will be small educational workshop sessions to enjoy, and together we will blanket the south end of the grounds with nearly 2,000 low shrubs, grasses and ground covers including snow daisy-bush, sticky everlasting daisy and red oat grass.

Free event and everyone is welcome. Please wear sturdy footwear, bring gloves and a sun hat if you have them. BYO water bottle.

This planting day is part of Glen Eira City Council’s first Community Planting Week from Sunday 26 March to Sunday 2 April, including a school planting day and plant giveaway.

It’s all part of the collective effort to grow our urban forest to enhance tree canopy and biodiversity across public and private land in Glen Eira.
