An inspiring and inclusive evening of conversation and connection in the lead-up to Planting Party, a day of community action and celebration on Sunday 7 September at Fed Square.

This free event brings together First Nations knowledge holders, artists, gardeners, activists and thinkers of all ages and backgrounds for a powerful discussion about climate justice and caring for Country.

Coleman; and artist, performer and curator, Lichen Kelp.
