Many of Victoria’s Indigenous ecological sites are rapidly becoming vulnerable due to industrialised agriculture and urbanisation. Recultivate seeks to spread ideas around the importance of preserving these grasslands, shrublands and wetlands, and how considered biophilic design may assist in sustaining these indispensable plants and ecosystems. Produced in partnership with Victorian Indigenous Nurseries Co-op, TERRAIN and Collingwood Yards, Recultivate illustrates a vital conduit between people and plants.
