Green Heart Fair

Since most of the boxes had been emptied and collapsed we decided to go ahead with our plan to check out the Green Heart Fair. A promotion of sustainability, the opportunity to find out what services and organisations are operating in our community.

Lauren was feeling a bit rubbish with a sore throat, but such is her commitment to doing her part to save our planet she still wanted to go. As always, parking was the trickiest part, but we were lucky and fluked a space close to the entry.

There were electric vehicles, composting hub information, beekeeping, water conservation, food charities, workshops and presentations. As well there were some food trucks, coffee carts and a small market selling eco and sustainable products. The council had native plants to give away – we got two each and also went to hear Craig Reucassel from the ABC programme War OnWaste speak.

It was a good day, although the clouds were building and Lauren was fading fast so we headed home with our goodie bags.

NOTE: Strep and the common (but nasty) cold were on the doorstep and only one of us remained uninfected.

NOTE: It has come to my attention that as ratepayers we can get 2 native plants EACH year from the Council. This city is growing on me even faster than I thought it could.
