Meetup in the Park: Minimal living and Tiny Home Living
**About this event:** Have you been dreaming of going tiny? Are you curious about minimal living, off-grid setups, or just downsizing your life in Victoria?
You are not alone! We are launching a new community for enthusiasts to connect, share stories, and support one another.
(Please book ticket in EventBrite [here](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/monthly-minimal-living-meetup-tiny-home-tickets-1983064391979?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl) )
Imagine a life with less clutter, less debt, and more freedom.
We are building a community in Victoria for those who want to step away from the traditional housing market and embrace tiny homes and minimal living.
For our first-ever meetup, we are keeping it simple. Weโll meet in the park to introduce ourselves and discuss what we want to create together. Whether you want to talk about the technical side (trailers, solar, regulations) or the lifestyle side (downsizing, remote work), this is the place to start.
Come along, make new friends, and letโs talk about how to make big dreams happen in tiny spaces.
Please book your ticket https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/monthly-minimal-living-meetup-tiny-home-tickets-1983064391979?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl
**What to expect:** This is a strictly casual, unstructured meetup. No presentations, no sales pitches, and no pressure. Just a relaxed afternoon in the park with like-minded people.
Weโre simply gathering to discuss:
* Who is already living the tiny life?
* Who is dreaming/planning?
* What are the local hurdles (council rules, finding land, etc.)?
* How can we support each other?
**Who should come:** Whether you have your tiny house plans drawn up, you're already living in one, or you just watched a documentary and thought "I could do that"โyou are welcome here.
**What to bring:**
* A camping chair or picnic rug.
* Your own snacks/drinks.
* Sun protection (or an umbrellaโit is Melbourne/Victoria after all!).
**About Your Host**
Hi, Iโm Karen. After exploring over 50 countries, Iโve chosen Melbourne as my home. As an entrepreneur, Iโve come to realize that we don't need much to be truly happy. In fact, nature provides us with so many "free luxuries"โfrom sunlight to green spacesโthat we often overlook in the modern world.
I am channeling this philosophy into building my own tiny home in Victoria this year. I started this group because I realized that while the tiny house movement is growing, the journey can feel a bit lonely. I want to build a supportive local community where we can share resources, untangle the regulations, and help each other turn these small dreams into reality.
* **Wet Weather Plan:** (e.g., "If it rains, we will move to a cafe close by.")

Nature, Wildlife โ Grampians Hiking Tour
This is not a sightseeing bus tour. Itโs a slow-travel, small-group Max 11 Guests, Grampians experience designed for travelers who want to walk, explore, and connect with nature respectfully.
Discover the Grampians on a premium small-group day experience designed for travelers who want more than a standard sightseeing tour. This journey focuses on guided hiking, respectful wildlife observation, and deep connection with nature, delivered at a relaxed and thoughtful pace.
Your day begins with a scenic drive into the Grampians, where dramatic mountain ranges, ancient rock formations, and open bushland set the tone for the experience. Our approach is simple: less rushing, more exploring.
We visit Booroka Lookout, one of the regionโs most impressive viewpoints, offering sweeping panoramic views across the surrounding plains and ranges. Time is given to walk, observe, and appreciate the scale of the landscape rather than rushing through photo stops.
Grand Canyon hike in Grampians National Park, starting from Wonderland Carpark and walking through Cool Chamber, Bridal Veil Falls and Silent Street to reach the Pinnacle Lookout. This is a return (two-way) hike, meaning we follow the same scenic route back to Wonderland Carpark, allowing guests to enjoy the dramatic rock formations and views from a different perspective on the way down.
The experience continues to The Balconies, where striking rock formations frame expansive views over the Grampians landscape. Short walks 2.2km allow you to fully engage with the scenery while learning about the areaโs natural features.
We also spend time in Halls Gap, the cultural heart of the Grampians. This is where wildlife is often seen moving freely in its natural habitat. Kangaroos, emus, and native birdlife are commonly observed, always from a safe and respectful distance. No feeding, touching, or forced interaction is ever part of the experience.
Throughout the day, your guide prioritizes ethical wildlife observation, environmental respect, and small-group comfort. This tour is ideal for travelers who value sustainability, nature, and meaningful exploration.
This is not a rushed itinerary. It is a carefully curated Grampians experience for those who want to walk, observe, and truly connect with one of Victoriaโs most remarkable natural regions.

As we wrap up the quarter, itโs a great time to pause and reflect. Whatโs on track? What needs adjustment? Where could a small shift create bigger impact?
Join fellow product professionals for a focused, interactive conversation designed to help you recalibrate for the next quarter. Youโll have the opportunity to share where you are, hear how others are thinking through similar challenges, and gain fresh perspective you can bring back to your team and organization.

Columbus Yarn Club at the Grandview Heights Library
12:45-3:45 in the Meeting Room on the library lowest level. Bring your yarn projects, meet new friends.
If you plan to attend, please RSVP yes. If you canโt attend, please change your RSVP to no. This helps anyone who is waitlisted and it allows me to have an accurate count of attendees as our space is quite limited.
Plenty of parking in the lot, in the overflow lot across the street, and on the street.
See you there!
Winter Note: If the weather is bad and I have to cancel the Meetup, i will issue the cancellation not later than 10 a.m. of that day.

Free at Bexley Library
Adventures in Ecological Horticulture
with Rebecca McMackin
Wednesday, March 18
1:00pm - 2:30pm
Gone are the days when a garden could be ornamental alone. We now recognize the impact that our land care practices have on the ecosystems around us, and can see the importance of encouraging biodiversity. Thankfully, we do not need to sacrifice beauty when we invite butterflies and songbirds into our gardens.
Rebecca McMackin has cultivated gorgeous landscapes in the toughest environments possible: urban parks, school playgrounds, and the sidewalks of New York City. She will take lessons from her work at Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and decades of research to share how those of us who are fortunate enough to care for land, can do it beautifully and ecologically.
Rebecca McMackin is an ecologically obsessed horticulturist and garden designer. She writes, lectures, and teaches on ecological landscape management and pollination ecology, as well as designs the rare public garden.
She is currently Lead Horticulturist for the American Horticultural Society, an Associate with the Harvard Divinity Schoolโs Thinking with Plants and Fungi Initiative, and Consulting Arboretum Curator for Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, NY.
Rebecca spent a decade as Director of Horticulture of Brooklyn Bridge Park, where she managed 85 acres of diverse parkland organically. Their research into cultivating urban biodiversity and ethical management strategies has influenced thousands of people and entire urban parks systems to adopt similar approaches.
She has been published by and featured in the New York Times, Gardens Illustrated, on NPR and PBS. Her garden for the Brooklyn Museum recently won the PPAโs Award of Excellence and her TED Talk has been viewed over a million times. She holds M.Sc. from Columbia University and University of Victoria in landscape design and biology and recently completed the Loeb Fellowship at the
Harvard Graduate School of Design.
This program is presented in partnership with Rooted in Bexley and generously funded by the Bexley Community Foundation and Bexley Community Author Series Fund.
