All events

Swapping and having experiences, rather than buying new items is a great way to send less to landfill.

Join us on Sunday 5th October at Cockman House, the oldest remaining house in the Wanneroo area for free plant swap in the grounds. To participate please bring a small healthy plant, cutting or seedling that fits into one of these categories: Seeds, indoor plants, herbs, vegetables, flowers and swap it for a different plant. The plant swap will take place during Cockman House opening hours, 1.30 - 4pm, it's free to visit and participate with no bookings required.

From 2.30 – 3.45pm join us for a workshop on how to build an instant, water efficient wicking bed for growing plants out of found items. This workshop is free but bookings are required.

Did you know that plastic plant pots can't go in your kerbside recycling bin but can still be recycled. Please bring your unwanted plastic plant pots to the plant swap and we will take them to CLAW Environmental - a specialist plastics recycling centre, where they will get a second life!
