On a bright and beautiful day at Wellington Square, our Children’s Planting Festival blossomed into a joyful celebration of community, nature, and learning. Thanks to the generous support of so many wonderful partners and volunteers, the event was filled with laughter, discovery, and a shared passion for nurturing the earth.
A Community Effort.
This festival wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible efforts of Activate Tree Planting, who rallied an enthusiastic crew of volunteers. These hands planted seeds, ran creative activities, prepared nourishing morning tea, and managed all the essential logistics to keep the day flowing smoothly.
We’re also deeply grateful to City of Perth for their ongoing partnership and support. Their help with workforce, site preparation, soil care, and plant supply has laid the groundwork for what will soon become a thriving native garden – a green sanctuary for all to enjoy.

Planting Seeds for the Future
The Children’s Planting Festival was more than just an event – it was a living classroom where families planted seeds, both literal and metaphorical. Together, we are fostering a love for the environment, encouraging stewardship, and nurturing a sense of belonging within our community.
We couldn’t be more proud to see so many smiles and muddy hands, knowing that these shared moments will grow into lifelong connections with nature and each other.
