Top-10s aren't very slow, so we thought we'd come up with a Top Nine - in no particular order. In the end, we settled for eight top suggestions of Slow things to do in April...we don't want anyone rushing about:

1) Take a picnic out to Werribee Park's Helen Lempriere Sculpture Awards
2) See the galaxy's pin-up planet, Saturn, through the roof of the RBG's historic Observatory
3) Join one of the free Autumn Walks at the RBG
4) Immerse yourself in warm autumn colours at the Alfred Nicholas Gardens in Sherbrooke
5) Subscribe to RRR during April Amnesty
6) Listen for frogs while mooching for plants at the Indigenous Nurseries Co-op on Yarra Bend
7) Learn to alter your favourite vintage buys at Thread Den
8) Go to Ceres: it's having a Slow Day April 20 squared at families
