The Heart Gardening Project is a community initiative that connects humans to humans, humans to nature and nature to nature joyfully through street gardening. We turn public spaces, including nature strips, into meaningful beautiful gardens for everyone (plus the critters!) in the community to enjoy.
We have written a book (Melbourne Pollinator Corridor Handbook) which is a clear and easy-to-use introduction to street gardening, native bees and gardening to increase biodiversity that will help people wanting to create positive change in their patch, private or public.
