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.

SUMMARY:City of Monash: Open Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Four varied and exciting gardens are open free to the public. Join us for a day exploring the old and the new\, the large and the small\, the native and the exotic. Presented by Waverley Garden Club in conjunction with the City of Monash. \n  \nFirst: \nMary’s Garden \, 777 Waverley Road Glen Waverley \nThis is a large established garden with a variety of camellias\, maples\, roses\, azaleas and\nhydrangeas\, a large lawn and several large shady trees. There has been a more recent planting of\nnative bird-attracting shrubs and three Wollemi pine trees\, purchased when they first became\ncommercially available.\nA new\, key feature of the garden is the conversion of a tennis court into an orchard with a very\nimpressive formal layout of gravel paths\, with a raised vegetable garden bed\, along with a large\nnumber of fruit trees\, including heritage apple varieties\, plums\, cherries\, figs and more\, as well as\na variety of berries. \nSecond: \nNick’s Garden\, 9 Blue Hills Avenue\, Mt Waverly \nNick’s unique front garden “Dreamtime\,” is a representation of Australia. Its Aboriginal focus\nincludes symbolic ceremonial\, boomerang\, rainbow serpent and billabong gardens. There is a\nsculpted rock Uluru\, the Murray River meanders tranquilly through a section\, and the nature strip\ncontinues the indigenous planting theme. Plant and flower colour is used to complement various\naspects and provide a variety of ‘bush tucker’ for the local fauna.\nThe back yard provides a range of native and exotic plants and there is a number of bonsai in\nvarious stages of development. There is also a small but productive vegie garden\, a fernery and a\nfire pit area. Large gum trees tower over the front and rear of the property providing a micro-\nclimate and cover for a vast amount of birdlife throughout the year. \nThird: \nJack and Marie’s Garden\, 31 Rosaline Avenue\, Mt Waverly \nJack and Marie moved here in 2016 with the aim of downsizing to a sustainable small house and\ngarden. Karen Sutherland was engaged to establish a “permaculture forest’ of edible plants. Some\noriginal plants – roses\, a North American maple\, a Japanese maple and a hibiscus remain. Two\nplants were brought from the previous garden: a single hardy rhubarb that has produced\nvigorous offspring\, and a small bayleaf now as tall as a ship’s mast.\nThe remainder of the garden – replete with strawberry guavas\, feijoas\, a trio of hazelnuts\, a\nloquat\, a quartet of citrus trees and three raised vegetable beds – speaks for itself. First time\nvisitors are advised to look for the drive with the bed of strawberries in the middle!\nWarning: Bee hives on property. \nFourth \nAshwood High School Community Garden\,  50 Vannam Drive\, Mt Waverly \nThis large Community Garden was established in 2007 based on the permaculture model.\nThere are no individual plots\, with members working throughout the garden as tasks need to be\ncompleted.\nThere are several wicking beds\, bee hives\, hot and cold compost bins and a worm farm.\nVolunteers grow seasonal fruit and vegetables. There are more than 30 fruit trees with some\nunusual ones\, including yakon\, babaco\, avocado\, a rare Indian apple tree (no fruit yet)\, a\ncherimoya\, a white sapote\, plus many\, many more.\nVolunteers will be selling various seedlings including a wide variety of tomatoes unavailable\ncommercially.\nWarning: Bee hives on property. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Farm to Ferment: fermenting with farm fresh produce
DESCRIPTION:For aeons fermentation has allowed for the growth and creation of cultures around the world. It has beckoned in the gathering of community as an effective way to preserve abundant harvests all the while preventing mass food waste. Fermentation also allows for the development of complex flavours\, increased bioavailability\, and enhanced nutrition – the benefits are endless. We live in a society where food waste and in-access to nutritious food are some of the most impactful aspects of the current ecological crises we are faced with. There is a rumbling of curiosity in the action of reviving fermentation – (most) bacteria are our friends. In this workshop we foment that sense of intrigue and guide you through the basic principles of fruit and vegetable fermentation\, equipping you with a foundational skill set to alchemise plants at home. This workshop will act as a bubbly-beginning for the chance to utilise fermentation to vitalise connection and culture. \nIn this workshop you will learn the basics of fermenting soft and hard vegetables\, you will concoct your very own recipe and go home with two jars of delicious ferments. \nPlease bring 2 x 500g jars and a hat! Some jars will be available for purchase\, but reusing is preferred.

SUMMARY:2024 Symposium: Climate Action in Cities
DESCRIPTION:The Faculty of Architecture\, Building and Planning is proud to present the 2024 ABP Symposium. \nThis year’s theme is “climate action\,” bringing together local and global voices to campaign for urgent and meaningful change across Australia’s built environment sector. \nThis year’s Symposium connects academic\, government and industry experts to influence the national agenda for the transformation of our urban spaces. Home to over 50 per cent of the world’s population\, our cities are responsible for up to 75 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions. This makes the built environment our greatest challenge but also our greatest opportunity for climate action. \nOver two days\, you’re invited to attend a series of thought-provoking keynote lectures\, interactive sessions\, panel discussions and site visits. Each session will unpack urban solutions to the climate crisis from different angles\, from research to policy to industry\, while offering tangible solutions to drive positive sector-wide change. \nThe Symposium features international guest keynote speakers Sarah Ichioka and Deb Chachra. World-renowned urbanist and founding director of Desire Lines\, Sarah Ichioka\,will explore how the built environment sector can help drive the transformation of our buildings\, places and environments as we move towards genuinely regenerative approaches. \nProfessor Deb Chachra is a globally-recognised academic and materials scientist\, working at the intersection of technology and society\, with an emphasis on systems\, education\, design\, and materials. She is author of the much-acclaimed recent book\, How Infrastructure Works: Inside the Systems that Shape Our World. \nDiscover real-world examples of best practice design and planning with a series of site visits. These guided sessions will reveal the innovative built environment initiatives across University of Melbourne’s Parkville campus and the Altona Coastal Precinct. \nAt the end of the Symposium\, you’ll not only understand the extent of the climate emergency but also the critical role our industry can\, and must\, play in avoiding potentially devastating impacts on our cities and their environments. \nCheck out the full program here. \nThis symposium was partially funded by the Australian Government through the Australian Research Council’s Discovery Projects funding scheme. \nThe Symposium keynote speaker\, Sarah Mineko Ichioka is made possible by the generous support of the Robert Garland Treseder Fellowship.

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:Online: Webinar: fed up with feral deer
DESCRIPTION:Feral deer are trashing our forests. \nThey’re ringbarking trees and chewing through shrubs and ferns. They’re causing erosion and destroying areas where threatened wildlife are just clinging on. \nYet they’re protected under state nature legislation. \nJoin Dr. Alex Maisey\, lyrebird expert and VNPA campaigner Jordan Crook for a webinar and find out more about the damage deer are causing across Victoria and how you can get involved. \nWe’re teaming up with the Biodiversity Council to run this webinar. Stay tuned for updates on more speakers. \nRSVP on website
