Message Sticks is an outdoor, environmental exhibition composed of a series of tall, intricately painted poles that arise majestically from the sun-drenched plants in the beautiful SA Water Mediterranean Garden at the Adelaide Botanic Garden.

Each pole tells a different story about what it means to live in the environment of South Australia, one of the world’s five Mediterranean zones. Senior secondary students working with community artist John Whitney have woven together stories of the original landscape, water, drought, fire, food, people and culture to reate
an exhibition that explores the uniqueness of living where we do and what is needed to have a sustainable future.
