The future is looking a little f*cked. Climate change. Live-streamed genocides. Rising authoritarianism and hate. AI takeover. It’s a lot.
But as cracks appear, opportunities to shape the more beautiful world we know is possible abound. Our job as grown-ups is to help the next generation grow like wildflowers through those cracks and seize them.
Meg & the Wildflowers offers age-appropriate resources and a community to make it happen.
Who am I?
I’m Meg O’Malley (she/her) from Naarm/Melbourne, Australia. I’m a social and environmental justice educator, and for over a decade I’ve been helping kids grow care, courage, and agency as they navigate a changing world.
I’ve worked with non-profits, social enterprises, and purpose-led start-ups across sustainable food, fashion, farming, and education. I’ve led creative projects, built ethical businesses, and designed learning experiences that explore how we can create a more just and liveable future.
Meg & the Wildflowers brings it all together.
At just six years old, a group of courageous kids taught me that you're never too young to start caring about and shaping the world.
What's in a name? The story behind Meg & the Wildflowers.
Former Student
Megan has inspired me to always speak up. She has taught me countless lessons in life, whether it is about nature or just to question everything. The connections with sustainability and friends I made are ones I will value for life.
Former Student
I used to be scared to do things that challenged me, Megan showed me that challenges can help me grow. Now I love to tackle things, even if they scare me.
Former Student
Megan guided me in exploring both nature and global challenges, teaching me how to address these issues step by step. As a person, she showed me how to embrace and encourage change, she played a key role in my personal development and signified the opportunity to uncover new perspectives and possibilities in life.
Former Student
I used to be hesitant about trying to make change and I wasn’t too sure where to start but Megan and her amazing Changemakers programme gave me the initiative and confidence to start.
Former Student
Before, I always wanted to do something but never had the courage to because I thought no one would listen. But then Megan showed me that it doesn’t matter if they don’t listen, you just have to put in the effort, or else nothing gets done.

I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which this work is created and shared, the people of the Kulin Nation. I pay my respects to Elders past and present. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have cared for Country for tens of thousands of years. Their knowledge, stewardship, and resistance continue despite ongoing dispossession and violence. Sovereignty has never been ceded. This always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
