SUMMARY:Online: Bloom at Home: How to Grow Your Own Cut Flowers
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that flowers are flown in planes all around the world every single day\, contributing to significant carbon emissions? Despite the beauty they bring\, the majority of flowers for sale in shops around Australia are imported. However\, there’s a shift happening in the floral sector towards sustainability here in Australia\, so flowers are locally grown\, not flown. \nIn this one-hour Master Class session given by sustainable florist Lauren Parisi\, we’ll delve into the changing landscape of the floral industry and explore how you can grow your own arrangement-worthy flowers in your garden all year round. More importantly\, we’ll uncover how you could become part of a movement to relocalize the floral industry\, right in your own backyard. \nDuring this session\, you’ll explore ways to reduce your carbon footprint through gardening your own cut flowers. We’ll discuss: \n– Understanding the environmental impact of the floral industry\, including the carbon emissions and packaging involved in flower imports. \n– Recognizing shifts in the floral industry towards a ‘sow flower movement’ and distinguishing between imported and locally grown flowers. \n– Cultivating sustainable blooms for yourself\, with insights into selecting the right flowers\, along with practical tips and techniques for sustainable gardening\, adaptable to any season or climate. \n– Responsibly sharing your flowers with wildlife like birds and bees through mindful picking \n– Embracing the benefits of supporting local flower growers\, fostering relocalization efforts\, and contributing to a more sustainable and resilient floral industry within your community. \nThis session is one of four in a Masterclass Series “Carbon In Your Garden”. Other topics include – Growing Herbs and Teas\, Edible Weeds – The Most Carbon Saving Food\, Importance of Native Grasses in Your Garden.  Book the Series Package for discount.  Friends of SGA receive a 15% discount on Master Class full price tickets. You can become a Friend of SGA here. Green Garden Professional (GGPs) receive a 30% discount.

SUMMARY:Online: Public lecture - Linking Land and Geospatial Intelligence for Sustainable Development
DESCRIPTION:Land data and knowledgeare currently insufficientto sustainably manage the environment and implement climate actions. CSDILA’s recent work for the World Bank has highlighted the urgent need for interdisciplinary solutions. \n\n\nClimate actions like regeneration\, reforestation and renewable energy targets require land – much of which is already used for other purposes. We need to work together using science to locate optimal places and social science to engage stakeholders from.grassroots movements to government. \nThis panel event will bring together experts in land\, climate and geospatial intelligence to discuss the challenges and opportunities in managing land intelligently\, and engaging with communities as we plan for climate actions and population growth. \nOur panelists and chair: \n\nMark Allen​ – Director Greenline​ – City of Melbourne (MC)\nDr Abbas Rajabifard -The University of Melbourne – Lead Academic\nCraig Sandy – Surveyor General Victoria\nTony Burns – Executive Director\, Founder – Land Equity International Pty Ltd\nSerene Ho – Senior Lecturer – Land Administration

SUMMARY:Sow and Tell: Writing the Garden
DESCRIPTION:Event description\n\nSow and Tell: Writing the Garden \nGardens are rich and fertile places for writers. They are places of uncertainty\, where things stir under the surface and we are not sure what will emerge. They are places of creativity and vitality\, where new life blooms. Gardens hold their own stories too\, and listening to these stories can inspire our own. \nCome enjoy some slow time observing and writing in the NECCHI Wayi Garden with me. We will ground ourselves in this special place and open our senses to it. I will share a few writing tips\, read you evocative pieces of garden writing\, and offer some prompts to inspire new writing from you. No writing experience is necessary. You can write in any form: poems\, stories\, essays\, fragments\, journal entries\, or stream-of-consciousness ramblings. We will attend to our inner and outer landscapes and see what takes root. \n  \nAbout Simone \nSimone King (she/her) is a poet\, editor and PhD student in creative writing who lives and writes on Wurundjeri Country. Simone’s poems and reviews have been published in poetry anthologies and journals including Best of Australian Poems 2022\, Australian Poetry Anthology 2024\, Rabbit Poetry\, Cordite\, Plumwood Mountain\, and Mascara Literary Review’s Resilience Anthology. Simone won the 2022 Blake Poetry Prize and the 2021 Woorilla Poetry Prize and has been highly commended for other literary awards. She coedited What we Carry: Poetry on Childbearing\, Recent Work Press\, 2021. \n  \n\nSow and Tell: Writing the Garden is a family-friendly workshop that will take place within NECCHi’s Wayi Community Garden.

SUMMARY:Native wildflower meadows with Katherine Horsfall
DESCRIPTION:Event description\n\nCome and learn about native wildflower meadows with Katherine Horsfall whose research in grasslands restoration at the University of Melbourne has lead to planting millions of native seeds to create nurturing\, inspiring\, biologically and culturally important grassy floral wonderlands in small urban spaces. These include threatened indigenous species. \nWe will meet at our Newlands house public gardens where we are re-introducing grasslands species of the volcanic plains. We will look at what’s in flower\, Katherine will help with plant identification and talk about meadow gardening. \nYou will also have the opportunity to sow a mini meadow. Take the mini meadow home and put it in a sunny sheltered spot and wait and watch – you never know what you’re going to get! Please bring a pot of approximately 9L – at least as wide as a dinner plate (25 cm) and deeper than 10 cm. It doesn’t need to be fancy\, recycled is great! \nPlanting more indigenous wildflowers can be an important act of reparation. They also offer more food for the native insects that have co-evolved with those plants.
