Native Grasses - Perfect Plants for Your Garden

Next date: Sunday, 29 November 2026 | 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM

Native grasses provide texture and movement as well as critical habitat to support biodiversity, including for pollinators and small birds.

In this hands-on workshop we take a look at the fascinating native grasses growing throughout the Frankston area.

Leanne will introduce the differences between grasses, sedges, rushes and other grass-like plants before exploring some of our most recognisable local grass groups, including Kangaroo Grass -Themeda triandra, Tussock-grasses - Poa spp., Wallaby-grasses - Rytidosperma spp, Weeping Grass - Microlaena stipoides, Spear-grasses - Austrostipa spp., and Plume-grass - Dichelachne spp. and more.

Learn what features to look for, how to examine a grass in the field and simple clues that can help narrow down an identification. Perfect for beginners and anyone wanting to better understand our local flora.
