Cutting to feature at gardens meeting
FOUNDER of ‘The Heart Gardening Project,’ Emma Cutting, will be a special guest of the Friends of Warrnambool Botanic Gardens next weekend.
Ms Cutting will be guest speaker at the group’s annual meeting, to be held on Saturday, July 6.
As founder of the Heart of Gardening Project (THGP), Ms Cutting will talk about the group’s goal to create the Melbourne Pollinator Corridor, planting out unused public land with habitat for our fast-disappearing native pollinators.
THGP members advocate for change at a policy level and promote street gardening to help improve urban landscapes, increase biodiversity and improve mental health.
The group is all about making a positive and joyful difference to the world.
Ms Cutting is also author of the Melbourne Pollinator Corridor handbook; a clear, factual and easy to use introduction to native bees, gardening for native bees and street gardening.
Although the book is written with the Melbourne Bee Corridor in mind, a lot of information is transferable to street gardens and private gardens around the country.
Ms Cutting has drawn on the knowledge of more than 30 specialists and scientists and has had experience in helping to create over 50 street gardens for biodiversity.
The July 6 meeting will start at 3pm at the Hammond Centre, Christ Church. All welcome.
