May Meeting Update

We started the meeting with our Market stalls - plenty of free plants to take home & add to our gardens. Thanks to Sharon Gartshore for providing such an abundance of freebies to share.

Amongst the offerings were sweet potato vines and Mother of Herb cuttings.

Catriona manned our welcome desk and we had some new visitors join us for the first time.

It was great to see lots of new faces including Julie and Keith from Men's Shed who gave us a brief presentation on their land lease at West Woombye. They plan to run educational tours for schools and the community. If you're interested in learning more or being involved contact Keith - (07) 5445 0629 or email: samkeith1@live.co.uk

We had a lively Q&A session with Nicole Foss and Raul Meijer from The Automatic Earth with topics ranging from energy, the financial crisis, permaculture solutions, water and resilient skills for the future.

Nicole and Raul told us about the Sustainability Street initiative in Hubert Street, Fremantle, W.A. that was started from the ground up to create community. Watch the video to learn more.

There are other Sustainability Street initiatives out there now too.

We hope you'll join us for our next meeting on Tuesday, 5th June.
