Learning Grounds is part of Merri Creek Management Committee’s commitment to environmental education. It is a program to assist schools in northern metropolitan area of Melbourne with their plans to establish indigenous gardens in school grounds.
This is how local schools contribute to the expansion and integrity of the flora and fauna of the Merri Creek Catchment. (Of course, no matter where you are, indigenous planting contributes to the integrity of waterways and environment.)
Schools participating in Learning Grounds are encouraged to develop and link outdoor learning opportunities to their indigenous gardens whether the stage is early (such as the planning phase) or later (important maintenance and establishment phase).

Common Grounds
Common Grounds is part of Merri Creek Management Committee's commitment to environmental education. It is an extension of the Learning Grounds program. Common Grounds assists school communities in the northern metropolitan area of Melbourne who either have or intend to establish indigenous gardens in school grounds to network with each other.
School communities learn from each other as they contribute to the expansion and integrity of the flora and fauna of the Merri Creek Catchment. (Of course, no matter where you are, indigenous planting contributes to the integrity of waterways and environment.)
School communities participating in Common Grounds benefit from exploring other places and people. They are able to share their different ways of including school learning goals whilst developing indigenous gardens.
Each school has their own needs and plans. There's a lot to learn and some inspirational examples.
