Southbank Farmer’s Market @ BOYD

This farmer’s market is held on the 1st Saturday of the month, 8am to 1pm, at the heritage listed JH Boyd Community Hub, home of a former girls’ high school. Breakfast and coffee, pies and cakes, veggies and plants, honey and dips, mussels and free range eggs, and dogs are welcome. This is home of the Southbank Library too, and it is nice to sit by the sunny glass window to read a book after all the marketing… perhaps search for some delicious recipes to put those fresh produce onto the dinner table. And don’t forget to pick some fresh herbs which is free, to go into the cooking !

Upcycling and Sustainability @ Garage Sale Trail

Garage Sale Trail, now it’s in third year is a national Australian event. It organises communities around the country to hold Garage Sales on the same day, today ! It’s about sustainability, by redistributing great stuff and saving it from landfill. Let’s reclaim, reuse and recycle!

At Boyd Southbank, the City of Melbourne provides the venue for garage sale vendors, live music, ABC live broadcasting, an entertaining auction supporting Youth Project, and a free hands-on workshop run by Kyle Bush, of HumbleBe, on how to up-cycle old fabric into photo frames and notebooks. Hand make these for Xmas , with love and creativity… something that comes from the heart and very good for the environment.

HumbleBe workshops combine creative ideas around ecological design, self sufficiency and a general appreciation of our place in our world.
