Draw Plants Together Workshop as part of Australian Pollinator Week

We invite you to explore plant drawing in a supportive space and to meet the living species of Cherry Street Grassland Reserve.

Drawing invites us to observe nature in a mindful way, helping us notice what’s really there and to form more intimate connections with our surroundings.

It’s also a fun way to connect with others and celebrate the biodiversity of Darebin during Australian Pollinator Week.

• Bring a water bottle, snacks, sun/rain protection

Tickets are limited – book early to secure your spot.
If you can no longer attend, please cancel your booking through Eventbrite or contact the organiser so someone else can take your place.
