Nature Festival

Join artists Rosina Possingham and Dominic Guerrera for a two-hour cyanotype workshop at Yitpi Yartapuultiku. 

Spend time looking closely at the plants and landscape around Yitpi Yartapuultiku, gathering inspiration from what is growing, flowering and seeding on Country. During the workshop, we will use plant material to create photograms and experiment with writing and drawing on tracing paper to make our own prints.

From one small seed, a whole story can grow. Join us for a gentle guided walk through Folland Park. As we wander, we'll explore the park's rich heritage, biodiversity and living landscape - and gather ideas to help the Folland Park seed continue to grow in our community.

In this hands-on workshop, you'll turn recycled paper into plantable seed paper. Explore how paper is made and recycled, learn about paper fibres, and get involved in the pulping and pressing process.

Add native seeds to your paper, take it home, and plant it to see the results of your creation grow.

Parents / Guardians / Carers are welcome to attend with their child

All materials are supplied

Join a guided walking tour of Barker Inlet Wetlands with Green Adelaide Coastal Conservation Officer Danny Millbanks.

The Barker Inlet Wetlands are a thriving sanctuary for wildlife and one of Adelaide's most significant urban natural areas. Rich in biodiversity, the wetlands provide vital habitat for more than 130 bird species, dozens of native plant species, and iconic wildlife including the rakali and Murray short-necked turtle. They are also at the forefront of conservation, supporting the return of the locally extinct Yellowish Sedge Skipper butterfly, restoring native host plants for threatened species, and creating healthier ecosystems through innovative habitat restoration projects.

As a place where nature is being actively protected and restored, the Barker Inlet Wetlands offer visitors a unique opportunity to experience the remarkable diversity of South Australia's coastal environment. Experience this important area for urban biodiversity with insights from an expert involved in its conservation.
