With a change of season around the corner, there’s plenty of new sustainability events at our Eco Living Display Centre. This spring, we’re especially excited to launch the Home Harvest Exchange – a monthly event for sharing home grown produce and enjoy lunch! Read on to find out more!
Featured events
Home Harvest Exchange
Are you growing more fruit and veggies in your garden than you can eat? You’re not the only one! Bring your excess produce to our home harvest exchange and swap with other hobby-gardeners. No coins needed – fresh produce is all the currency you’ll need at the harvest exchange.
Meet like-minded people and pick up some handy tips along the way. Stay a little longer and enjoy a free vegan lunch!
Saturday 4 November, 11am – 12pm and the first Saturday of each month thereafter
