Description

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. All proceeds go to the not-for-profit community organisation.
