Community planting day

Join us at Moorleigh Reserve in Bentleigh East for a community planting day to help increase habitat for native fauna in our public open space.

There will be small educational workshop sessions to enjoy, and together we will blanket the south end of the grounds with nearly 2,000 low shrubs, grasses and ground covers including snow daisy-bush, sticky everlasting daisy and red oat grass.

Free event and everyone is welcome. Please wear sturdy footwear, bring gloves and a sun hat if you have them. BYO water bottle.

This planting day is part of Glen Eira City Council’s first Community Planting Week fromfrom Sunday 28 April to Saturday 4 May, including a school planting day and plant giveaway. 

It’s all part of the collective effort to grow our urban forest to enhance tree canopy and biodiversity across public and private land in Glen Eira.

Learn more about Council’s commitments and work to grow our urban forest, and ways you can take action.
