Gardens are extremely beautiful spaces and crucial to our well-being.

Cities and regional towns thrive when gardens are grown as large tree canopies provide much needed shade in summer.

When gardens are established on mass in urban areas, they play a vital role in cooling microclimates and reducing heat stress.

Think of your garden as the most important room in your house, its lush green colours and fragrant florals create a refuge and sanctuary after a long day.

Bees, butterflies, pollinators, birds and humans alike need gardens to thrive.

Come and meet your superheroes in this tactile and visual workshop, as they showcase gardens from the region.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
