This inclusive event brings together neighbours and the local community across Melbourne's north for tree planting activities alongside the beautiful Merlynston Creek in Fawkner Memorial Park. Come along to help care for the park's green life while connecting with us and the local community.

Gardeners of all ages and skill levels are welcome, including kids. We just ask that any children attending are supervised by a parent or caretaker for the duration of the event.

Complimentary coffee and refreshments will be provided.

All attendees will also get to take home a native plant to help increase the biodiversity of their own green spaces.

What to bring: Please dress for gardening outdoors in warm clothing and sturdy footwear. Some gardening items will be provided, but if you have a pair of gardening gloves or your own tools, please bring them along too.

Cost: Free but please register to attend

This community event is proudly delivered in partnership with Fawkner SES volunteers, who will join us on the day.

In the event of extreme weather warnings, this event may be cancelled on short notice to protect public safety. We will notify the public of any event cancellations via our website, Facebook Page and onsite signage. Please check these channels before attending.
