Grassroots - Adding Colour to the Melbourne General Cemetery Grasslands

Join us at Melbourne General Cemetery for a 'Grassroots' community planting day, where we will introduce some native wildflower seedlings to our established Project Cultivate grasslands. While our grasses are great, we need your help to introduce more flowering colour. Young or old, green thumb or brown, head down to the cemetery, explore our grasslands and help us add some indigenous wildflowers to this iconic space.
