winding paths intertwine like water vines
Our winding lives on glass hammocks

Shedding light on the vital role that plants have in our lives with Wollongong Botanic Garden.
On Botanic Gardens Day (Sunday 30 May 2021), Red Room Poetry and Wollongong Botanic Garden joined forces to celebrate the power of plants and the important work of conserving them for future generations.
As part of festivities at the Garden, we invited Bundjalung-Gumbayngirr man and POEM FOREST poet, Dakota Feirer to share new poetry on a panel with Gardening Australia’s Costa Georgiadis and our POEM FOREST partner, Georgina Reid (The Planthunter).
