Emely Baker Centre: Rock Pot Plant Swap with Dell Stewart
Description
The Emely Baker Centre is a former council-run child and maternal health centre in Edinburgh Gardens. Conveniently located within the popular Edinburgh Gardens park in North Fitzroy, the room seats 30 and is ideal for small community gatherings, children's parties, yoga and meetings.
What's On
Come along to an exhibition and plant swap with Dell Stewart and friends over the weekend of Open House Melbourne. The Emely Baker Centre will be occupied by an exhibition which also functions as a space for conversations and learning, celebrating the role gardening (no matter how big or small) plays in establishing a sense of belonging in our communities. Programming includes an exhibition of hand-built vessels for small scale gardening, a plant swap and opportunities for garden discussion.
