Learning Grounds

Learning Grounds is part of Merri Creek Management Committee’s commitment to environmental education. It is a program to assist schools in the 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).
