Join Compassionate Connections, Olive Pink, Westside Community Gardens, & ALEC for a Community Tree Planting Workshop! 🌱

Come along for a practical and inspiring day of learning, connection and community as we explore how planting trees can help create cooler, greener and more resilient neighbourhoods.

The day will begin with a welcome tea and chance to connect, followed by presentations on the importance of urban greening and local environmental action, including a short talk from ALEC. We’ll then hear from Olive Pink Botanical Garden, who will share practical advice and hands-on knowledge about planting and caring for trees in Central Australia.

Harpreet Singh Khalsa is a motivational speaker who researches the timeless wisdom of Gurbani to inspire individuals to live with greater balance, purpose and harmony with nature.
