City of Darwin is installing a new garden bed in Robyn Lesley Park to enhance amenity, shading, cooling, and biodiversity in the area.

Join us for a community planting event where together we will plant more than 200 native plants. This initiative supports City of Darwin’s commitment to being a cool, clean and green city, and aligns with the objectives of the draft Place and Liveability Plan, Greening Darwin Strategy, and Climate Emergency Strategy.

What we offer

• Planting of native species selected for their biodiversity value

• Free coffee and tea available for participants

• City of Darwin staff on site to provide assistance and answer questions about caring for your own native garden

• Sunscreen, gloves, and cold water provided

What to bring

For your comfort and safety, please wear:

• A hat

• Enclosed shoes

By taking part, you will help enhance shade and cooling in the community, support local biodiversity, and contribute to creating a greener, healthier, and more welcoming neighbourhood.

This event is free and open to all community members.

Help us grow a greener, cooler Darwin—see you there!
