Community Market on Saturday

It is resuming again after the two month winter hiatus: the Endeavour Hills Community Market. We, the Greater South eastern Permaculture Group, have a stall there once a month to let people know about Permaculture and what it can do for them, as well as a fun session of chatting, meeting people, exchanging tips and ideas and learning stuff. It looks like it will be a lovely day.

The market is at 2 - 8 Gleneagles Drive, Endeavour Hills
We would love your help to staff the stall. It is a lot of fun and doesn't need to take up much of your Saturday

The market is on from 9 am to 1.30 pm if you would just like to pop in and say hello.

This was a rainy day but we still had lots of fun. This Saturday will be a lovely day!
The stall is also a way of swapping produce that you have too much of in your garden. Nobody goes home empty handed.

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.
