Information display and seedling give away at the Endeavour Hills Community Market

On Saturday we took to the streets, aiming to bring the permaculture message to the people who were attending the Endeavour Hills Community Market. It was an early start, setting up the stall but there was so much good will and collaboration that it all went great. The market organisers are giving us the site for free. Thanks to Meg, Ali, Cele, Bob and Carmel the stall looked wonderful and gained a lot of interest. We gave away a seedling to everyone we spoke to and added 12 new people to our email group.  Cele’s display looked great – we had to stop people wanting to buy everything then and there. Meg’s enlarged photos were a big hit with the passers-by as they were very colourful and really showed what we were on about. Really love Meg’s bookmarks as well, and Ali's herbs and eggs. I think the best part about it was we were having fun and it showed. There were some stopping by who expressed gratitude that a group like this exists - I must say I feel the same.

  1. Lovely Jo! Yes a GREAT day! Lots of interest. Yes, looking forward to our next stall. We have a FAB Group of people, with each one of us bringing their talents to the table, we work well together for a common goal - growing food & sharing of knowledge & learn learn learn... We also learnt more on how we can enhance our stall & get the "Grow Your Own" message out there. :)
