Native Nature Strip Planting Workshop

Create a thriving indigenous garden right outside your front door

Sunday 15th February, 10am - 1pm, 2025

CERES, Corner Roberts & Stewart Streets Brunswick East, VIC 3057
(+61) 3 9389 0100 ceres@ceres.org.au

Join me for a fun and informative workshop where you’ll learn how to turn your nature strip (verge) into a beautiful, low-maintenance, and sustainable indigenous pollinator garden that supports local biodiversity and brightens your street. Guided by the think global- act local principal, we will explore how small scale habitat gardens can play a big role in addressing the impacts of climate change, urban sprawl and pollinator decline, all while enhancing your neighbourhood.

The workshop will enable you to – 

  • Understand your local council guidelines and permit requirements

  • Create your planting plan and plant list

  • Find plant suppliers and create a budget

  • Learn about soil remediation and weed control, and ongoing care

Whether you’re a green thumb or just getting started, this workshop will give you the tools and confidence to makeover your nature strip with plants that belong and thrive locally.
