Have too much of one thing in the vege patch and would love to swap it for something else?
Rather than let it drop & rot, pick it for the Produce Tree and join us at the Produce & Food SWAP!! 👍 🌳
Who knows what you will gather at the Tree to bring home to enjoy! 💕
Don't have produce to Swap?
You can also bring homemade items such as jams, relish, plants, dried herbs, flowers...even baked goodies! (Please include a list of ingredients)
Books, magazines, recipe books...
Or if you prefer, bring along your handmade crafts, soaps, bags...whatever your crafty skill is!
We also use this time as an opportunity to do some work in our Community Gardens, so come and join us if you are interested!🌱
All welcome! ☺
*WHEN & WHERE*
10-11am at the rear of 28 Brown Street, Portarlington.
So come along with your homegrown or homebaked goodies...share, swap and chat!
Bring along a cuppa, meet other local growers and crafters, and stay for a chat or a spot of gardening!
Hope to see you there!! 😊

🌼SKILL SHARING 🌼
Do have have knowledge or a skill to do with growing, gardening, preserving, crafting, cooking, or anything else you think may be of interest to others to share? If so, we'd love to hear from you and have you conduct a little skill sharing session at one of our Swaps!

*👣 Please park either on Brown St or just off Willis St when visiting the Tree. Please DO NOT DRIVE in or over the car park - foot traffic only! 👣
*Children are to be supervised at all times and dogs must be on leads at the Swaps. Thanks!
Many of our amazing and generous community are more than happy to drop items off for all to freely access, which is fantastic! However, understandably many would also prefer to have the opportunity to also grab a couple of things when dropping. Swaps will allow for this, and it will also be the perfect opportunity to meet and chat with other locals doing just as you are....sharing the love of homegrown produce!
Eggs, homemade jams and relishes and even home baked goodies (please include ingredients list) are allowed at the Swap day, but are NOT to be left at the Tree other times.
Please note: The Produce Tree is accessible during daylight hours 7 days a week for produce to be dropped off or collected.
