Grey Lynn 2030 Transition Community

New Trading Table this Sunday

This week the Grey Lynn Farmers Market will launch our first produce trading table.  Apart form the market manager putting up the table, this stall will be run by you!  Your very own road-side stall.

So bag, tag and sell your own produce.  The trading table is free to “friends of the market” (who pay an annual $30 sub) or $3 for casual users.  You can sell your homegrown veggies or fruit yourself at the table or swap your goods with other sellers! Encourage the children to play shopkeeper and make some pocket money!  Anything left on the table will be given away at the end of the market.

The trading table will be held under the Grey Lynn 2030 banner this week.  Any questions, call Charlotte on 027 3756143 or email glfarmersmarket@gmail.com

Want to see what a vibrant, fun, community street party looks like? Check out the West Lynn Street party video from last year. Photos from the 2010 party thanks to Diya Welland.

We often get asked whether it is legal to plant the grass berms found beside the footpath on most residential roads and whether these are a good place to plant fruit trees.  Come along and find out.  At our March meeting we will be sharing ideas for using our local berms to establish ‘urban bio-corridors’.

The topic will include a discussion of Council rules, how to plant a low maintenance garden, benefits to local flora and fauna – including local honey bees, effects on stormwater, and neighbourhood amenity.

For the first time our monthly community meeting will be taking place outside in the beautiful Wilton Street Community Garden.  All welcome – Wednesday 9 March, 7pm in the garden behind The Wine Vault and Gypsy Tea Room.
