Thank you to everyone who came along to the Grow and Gather Plant Swap last Saturday at HMC - Hunter Multicultural Communities Inc! As always, lots of plants swapped hands and lots of knowledge was shared peer to peer - such a joy! Thanks to Jess from Green Thumb Social for hosting the event.

Getting ready for the free plant swap tomorrow Saturday 14 March at HMC - Hunter Multicultural Communities Inc, 10am-12pm! We'll be under the Community Shed awning. Drop in event. All welcome. Big thanks to Green Thumb Social for hosting the plant swap.

What are you bringing along? It's a great opportunity to share old gardening magazines, pots as well as plants, seedlings and seeds. If you'd like to donate cleaned seeds to Newcastle Seed Library, say hello to Christina when you arrive!

There will be free children's activities including a potting bar for kids as well as a ‘design your mini garden’ activity where kids can plant and play in a model garden.

You can also find out about City of Newcastle's Street Garden Program plus explore the thriving community garden onsite and say hello to the resident chickens.

Big thanks to Jo, Newcastle Seed Library volunteer for offering these plants even though he can't be there tomorrow.
