Think of it as the after party for the morning native tree planting, happening at multiple sites around Melbourne’s creeks and rivers. Don’t forget to sign up below to join in and get your hands dirty!
Grab a coffee and a bite to eat at the food stalls, then enjoy the afternoon of celebration and community connection.
Emceed by ABC presenter, dirtgirl, the exciting line-up of live music includes Robert K Champion and Allara, The Orbweavers and Ella Thompson- Chamber Soul Trio, alongside music for plants from Earworthy DJs.
