Planting for Small Spaces

Come and learn how you can overcome some of the common small spaces or balcony gardening challenges for your Southbank balcony.

Balcony gardens are exciting and provide a great opportunity to be innovative and creative particularly where space is limited.


In this interactive workshop, you will learn more about gardening for small spaces, including how Southbank residents can get involved.


Sally and Ash are landscape architects at Ploterra and you'll learn from them:

  • What grows well on a balcony garden
  • The type of growing media, composting and fertiliser
  • Selecting the right pots and planters
  • Watering solutions
  • How to use vertical greenery


No prior knowledge is required for attendees.

While this talk is free, it requires registration as seats are limited. Get your ticket through the Eventbrite link.

This event is brought to you by the Southbank Sustainability Group, through a City of Melbourne grant.
