ABOUT THE GOLDEN WORM SCULPTURE
There is a large golden worm sculpture in Blackwood that Kathy wants you to meet. 'The Unsung Hero' sat upon the plinth in the Edinburgh Gardens, Fitzroy between 2019 & 2022 as part of the City of Yarra's Plinth project. It spent September 2022 in Fed Sq before settling into a Blackwood garden. This is a chance to meet 'The Unsung Hero' and pay your respects to worms! The golden worm sculpture was made to honour these humble animals and the important and under-rated work of creating healthy soil as part of a complex community of biological life that we rely on. Worms are our inspiration for this workshop.
