So many call CERES home. Biodiversity is the variety of all life forms on Earth – the different plants, animals and micro-organisms, and the ecosystems that are their homes. Our continent supports nearly 600,000 native species, and a very high proportion of these are found nowhere else in the world.

In September, we look to connect with nature. There are so many things you can do to support nature, but have you thought about what you could stop doing? Learn 6 things you can stop doing for nature (link in our bio) cause sometimes doing less can do more. 💚

Know a young person who cares deeply about the world around them?

Sometimes it can feel like you’re the only one at school thinking about climate change, biodiversity, waste or what the future might look like.

Futuremakers is a FREE day during the school holidays for young people to get outside, get their hands dirty, meet like-minded peers and explore what real change can look like – at school, in their community and beyond.

For young people in Years 7–10 who care about the environment, are curious about how change happens, and want to connect with others who are hopeful and ready to do something.

📅 24 September | Years 9–10
📅 1 October | Years 7–8
📍 CERES, Brunswick East
💚 Free, fully funded by the Victorian Department of Education

September is an exciting time for gardeners. After a long winter, there’s that itch to get growing. We get it. 😅

As tempting as it is to get planting straight away, spring weather doesn’t always get the memo. Sometimes, the best thing you can do for your garden is wait. Wait for the soil to warm up. Wait for those overnight temperatures to settle. And wait until your seedlings are big and strong enough to make the move into the garden. In the meantime, there’s still plenty you can do to get your garden ready for the growing season.

Head to our link in bio to get the guide for September gardening jobs. 💚

It turns out growing food is about much more than growing food.

There’s the soil, of course. Then the worms and microbes beneath it, the bees and other pollinators, the chooks scratching around the garden, the seasons and the weather - all connected, all playing a part.

The more you learn, the more you see the whole picture.

In CERES Complete Urban Farmer you learn it all: a deep dive into growing, soil, chooks, beekeeping and all the things that make an urban food system thrive. Explore all of our upcoming courses: https://school.ceres.org.au/adultlearning/

Do you long to connect more deeply with nature, community and yourself? Are you seeking the skills, relationships and inner resilience needed to lead well in a rapidly changing world?

Nature-Based Leadership Training is an immersive year-long journey exploring the kind of leadership our times ask of us: Leadership grounded in deep relationship with ourselves, our communities and the living world.

Now entering its sixth year, the training has supported people from many walks of life to cultivate the resilience, relationships and leadership needed to contribute to their communities and the living world.

This program draws together insights from ecology, deep nature connection, ancestral skills, systems thinking, ecopsychology, place-based education and spiritual traditions to explore what leadership might look like in an age of ecological and cultural transition.

Meet Kelsey from CERES Nursery – the person behind our wonderfully eclectic book selection. 🌿📚

If you’ve ever had a browse through the Nursery’s bookshelves, you’ll know there’s a lot of love (and some serious expertise) behind what makes it onto the shelves.

Kelsey loves curating books about niche topics ranging from Land Snails of Australia to traditional Kimchi recipes; it never gets boring. So this month, we asked her to share five of her current favourites:

1. The Mushroomery by Buttons Mira The Mushroomery
A new release from local urban mushroom grower and CERES workshop educator Buttons Mira. Packed with practical tips for growing mushrooms at home, plus plenty of recipes for enjoying the harvest.

2. The Plant Thieves: Secrets of the Herbarium
A fascinating look into the National Herbarium of NSW and the botanists, discoveries, dramas and stories behind its magnificent plant collections. Proof that there’s a lot more going on in the plant world than meets the eye.

3. First Knowledges Plants: Past, Present and Future
Part of the brilliant First Knowledges series, this book explores the deep cultural significance of plants and the enduring relationship between plants, people and Country — and what these knowledges can teach us about caring for Country into the future.

4. Name that Flower: The Identification of Flowering Plants
A firm favourite for any budding botany nerd. Kelsey loves its approachable introduction to plant families and morphological characteristics, with photographs of Australian natives and plants from further afield. Handy for getting to know what’s growing around you.

5. Twenty Bushwalks in the Mount Alexander Region
A great little guide from Friends of the Box-Ironbark Forests, featuring walks, birdwatching spots, native orchid sightings and plenty of beautiful places to explore. Kelsey has done around half of these walks herself and recommends them for a spring day out.

Come have a browse next time you’re at CERES Nursery - if you want more of Kelsey’s book reccos, drop a 📖 in the comments!
