Our current main focus is the Melbourne Pollinator Corridor (MPC), an Australian-first initiative which will be, when completed, an 8km-long, ecology-centred, community-driven wildlife corridor for our native pollinating insects.

We are aiming for 200 gardens that will connect two large but isolated green patches that run along the Birrarung (Yarra River), Westgate Park and the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne. We work within site constraints, transforming barren pieces of public and public private land into gardens of buzzing wriggling beauty.

Above: the green lines are approximately where the 200 gardens will go, the yellow circles are gardens already created and the purple circles are some of the sites we are ‘in conversation’ about.

So far, we have created 35 MPC gardens that cover over 1600m2, more than 6 tennis courts!

The Melbourne Pollinator Corridor combines our street gardening approach with an interdisciplinary approach and a fluid design. We are helping to shape the future of public realm, creating something that locals can love and all Australians can be proud of and inspired by.

Our native pollinating insects are in decline along with all of our insects so they need all the support we can give them. And, because insects are the base of the food web, the MPC is therefore strengthening and deepening all local urban communities of fauna, flora and fungi.

These are exciting times and we would love to have your support!
