What's happening

Pass The Plate is back for winter. This month's recipe is one to make when the house feels a bit too cold and the couch a bit too tempting. What is your favourite winter dinner to cook for friends and family? Drop it in the comments, best answer might make next month's list.

Today is International Youth Day, and there is a lot to celebrate at The Grove. From Dianella Community Centre to the Wyndham youth programs down the road, our young residents have real spaces to grow, connect and lead. Add to that Karwan Primary School and Brinbeal Secondary College right here in the community, along with a great choice of other schools nearby, and our kids are set up to learn, play and thrive close to home.

75,000 plants procured. One of the best parts about life at the Grove is having The Wetlands as your second backyard. Whether it's a wildlife sighting, exercise, or simply some fresh air you seek, the wetlands provides. Take a tour through the recently completed interpretive signage trail and learn a little about the planning, design and meaning behind the area.

Bluey and Bingo are heading to Werribee Open Range Zoo from the 16th to the 31st of August. If your household runs on the Bluey soundtrack, this one is worth locking into the calendar. A short drive from The Grove and a proper day out. Find out more info: https://www.zoo.org.au/werribee/getting-here/

Robo Lab is back at Julia Gillard Library in Tarneit. It is a free hands-on robotics and coding program for 11 to 15 year olds, running the first two Mondays of every month during school term from 4 to 5pm. Find out more info here: https://www.wyndham.vic.gov.au/whats-on/robo-lab-tarneit

World Nature Conservation Day is on the 28th July and at The Grove, it's something residents get to see and experience every single day. The 11 hectare wetlands, Davis Creek and the Werribee River corridor are home to over 50 species of native birds and wildlife, from superb fairy-wrens to the occasional platypus sighting along the river bank. From the beginning, Frasers Property made a deliberate choice to build The Grove around its natural environment rather than over it. The green corridors, native planting and waterway management are all part of that commitment, making sure the wildlife that was here first continues to have a place to thrive. #WorldNatureConservationDay
