Join us to celebrate the year’s activities and elect our office bearers. There will be a guest speaker, speeches and a video presentation of the year’s work.

Our guest speaker is Katherine Horsfall:

Katherine has a keen interest in how communities interact with the natural world and how we can use plants to create greener, more liveable cities. As a PhD candidate with the Green Infrastructure Research Group, Katherine is seeking to devise new and affordable ways to create native wildflower meadows on hostile urban soils. This research aligns with previous work she has completed for the City of Melbourne, looking at direct-seeding methods to re-establish a native grassy understory in Royal Park. 

Katherine lives on the mighty Victorian Volcanic Plain on Wurundjeri country in the urban jungle that is Coburg. She balances teaching and research work with her PhD studies and the constant need to stop her chickens destroying her garden. When not chasing chickens, she puts photos of grasses and wildflowers on Instagram @melbourne_meadows.
