Cara Johnson's ongoing research into the way people manage plants, and the landscape, has been explored through form, material and making processes.

The exhibition extends a short walk away from the gallery, to site-specific works installed in the Indigenous Grasses beds, located near the Visitor Centre at Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria’s Melbourne Gardens.
