SUMMARY:Open Gardens - The Garden of Hope
DESCRIPTION:The Garden of Hope\n8 -10 Beverly Hills Drive Templestowe\nSunday 19 April 2026\, 10am – 4.30pm\nExperience the rich textures and mellow beauty of the Garden of Hope in Templestowe\, when it opens to the public with Open Gardens Victoria on Sunday 19 April 2026. \nCreated by garden designer and former medical oncologist Dr Jacquie Chirgwin and her husband Paul Kertes\, the Garden of Hope is a vibrant expression of resilience\, creativity\, and the joy of new beginnings.  The Garden of Hope continues a story that began more than 20 years ago in Park Orchards\, where Jacquie first opened her garden to the public in 2002.

Photo exhibition of flower and landscape photographs. \nTickets: \nAdults $10\, Students $6 (with ID card). Free for visitors under 18 or students with OGV Annual Student Pass (with ID) \nTickets at the gate or via Trybooking  https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1474275

SUMMARY:Caring for Country. Wominjeka Garden
DESCRIPTION:Caring for Country\nSaturday 2 May from 9am to 11am \nWominjeka Garden. Murnong First People’s Gathering Place \n100 High Street Glen Iris\, adjacent to St Oswald’s Anglican Church \n  \nThe 2021 State of Environment report describes the importance of Caring for Country to Australian Indigenous people as follows: \n\n\nFor Indigenous people\, caring for Country is an obligation and an honour. In caring for Country\, Indigenous Australians draw on laws\, knowledge and customs that have been inherited from ancestors and ancestral beings\, to ensure the continued health of lands and seas with which they have a traditional attachment or relationship. This is a reciprocal relationship\, whereby land is understood to become wild or sick if not managed by its people\, and in turn individuals and communities suffer without a maintained connection to Country. It is well understood by Indigenous people that if you ‘look after Country\, Country will look after you’ (Woodward & McTaggart 2019). As caring for Country is embedded in cultural heritage\, it includes caring for culture: stories\, songlines\, language and connection to Country. \n\n\nTo learn more about Caring for Country\, go here. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Caring for Country. Wominjeka Garden
DESCRIPTION:Caring for Country Wominjeka Garden\nSaturday 4th July 9am to 11am \nMurnong First Peoples’ Gathering Place 100 High Street\, Glen Iris adjacent to St Oswalds Church \nThe 2021 State of Environment report describes the importance of Caring for Country to Australian Indigenous people as follows: \n\n\nFor Indigenous people\, caring for Country is an obligation and an honour. In caring for Country\, Indigenous Australians draw on laws\, knowledge and customs that have been inherited from ancestors and ancestral beings\, to ensure the continued health of lands and seas with which they have a traditional attachment or relationship. This is a reciprocal relationship\, whereby land is understood to become wild or sick if not managed by its people\, and in turn individuals and communities suffer without a maintained connection to Country. It is well understood by Indigenous people that if you ‘look after Country\, Country will look after you’ (Woodward & McTaggart 2019). As caring for Country is embedded in cultural heritage\, it includes caring for culture: stories\, songlines\, language and connection to Country. \n\n\nTo learn more about Caring for Country\, go here.
