Nature of Knox

In this work, mural artist, Daniel Hend has carefully captured some of the diverse plant and animal varieties that are unique to Knox. The intent of this mural at the Knox Environment Society (KES) Nursery was to soften the harshness of the bare shed wall where the mural is located and educate visitors on the beauty and benefits of planting Indigenous species. The work showcases some local species such as Epacris impressa (common heath), Craspedia globosa (billy buttons) and Typha Bulrush (Cattail) as well as depicting some local wildlife. The KES team intend to plant some of the species featured in the mural within the nursery garden. This work was made possible with funds through the Knox Council Community Development Fund grant program, provided to enhance and support not-for-profit community groups in Knox.
