Grow to Give connects people through sharing plant cuttings. We are a community of plant propagators.
Why? Because we know that through caring for plants, we nurture ourselves.
How? Send a postcard, give a clipping or both!
To conclude our Grow to Give exhibition and event, we invite you back to our gallery space for the night to mingle, explore and of course, take home your very own plant propagation!

Grow to Give is a set of postcards that make it easy for people to share ideas and connect with others, whether it is a relative, a friend, a neighbour or someone you don't yet know. The card has a small hole inside for all those tiny plant clippings that are difficult to place in vessels.
Grow to Give doesn’t end here though! Reach out to your friends and neighbours, share plant clippings and create living art.
Brought to life by creatives, Magda Czapiewska and Gee Ward, Grow to Give began in 2020 during the hard Melbourne lockdown.
As a way of staying connected, Magda and Gee began reaching out to neighbours and sharing plant clippings. Spending more and more time at home allowed us to soften our indoor environment and be more aware of our wellbeing. Plants give us a great opportunity to do this. They are also memory markers for meaningful events and connections in our lives.
Magda is an interior architect, LCI Melbourne academic and entrepreneur. Her multi-faceted experience brings together a holistic design approach. She likes to experiment and explore a variety of solutions, understanding that mistakes and coincidence can provide the best opportunities for development.
Gee is an Irish-Australian, Melbourne based spatial designer and artist. As an empathetic designer with a commitment to socio-political and human centred design, their work explores the complexities of identity and the limitations that social norms often create within an environment.

In the spirit of reconciliation LCI Melbourne acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community.
LCI Melbourne pay respects to the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people and acknowledges them as the Traditional Owners of the land on which our campus is situated. We recognise this as a place of special significance for the Indigenous community.
We pay our respect to Elders past and present and future. Indigenous sovereignty has never been ceded.
