Welcome to Heartscapes!
Care, Conservation and Community in the City
Heartscapes connects, strengthens and deepens urban communities of humans, fauna, flora and fungi through regeneration and conservation.
We are creating the Melbourne Pollinator Corridor and empowering and inspiring people to create their own street gardens.
“Your work is so very valuable – not only because of the immense environmental importance it holds, but also due to how accessible it makes local ecological knowledge.
- Joanna, South Melbourne local
“Truly inspired idea….. life changing project”
- Prof Tim Entwisle, former CEO Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria
“Whilst projects such as Melbourne Arts Precinct, or the City of Melbourne’s Greenline are the “show ponies” of this type of urban intervention, with the budgets to match, I believe it is projects such as the MPC that will really drive change.”
- Jon Hazelwood, landscape architect
The Heartscapes crew are truly the loveliest people.”
- Roma, Heartscapes Volunteer
