Heading into autumn, we’ve got a focus on reducing food and fashion waste. We’re kicking off the month of May with a Basic Mending workshop in Bayside, then sliding straight into our ever popular Scraptastic Cooking presentation in my old ‘hood at Nunawading Library. Then we’re covering all things composting & worms in Maroondah, before a presentation-workshop combo on low-waste gardening in Seaford. And to cap off the month, we’re back in the south-eastern suburbs to talk Fast Fashion in Carnegie.
We’d love to see you at one (or more!) of these events, and be sure to subscribe at the bottom of this page if you want info on following months’ free events.
