It was wonderful to have Qin from the Meet-up group translating between English and Chinese for some participants, this was important multicultural support that made the session accessible for a number of people. Thank you very much, Qin.

The State Rose and Garden Show

On Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 November, NatureWest participated in the State Rose and Garden Show at Werribee Park and Eat My Garden was privileged to have a display in Eatmygarden state rose 1NatureWest’s Tent.

The display consisted of native and local plants, information about NatureWest and other environment groups and a mini-shop, run by Eat My Garden, of handmade crafts made of natural materials as a fundraiser to support the Natural History Centre project.

We enjoyed the beautiful weather and met many people who were interested in supporting and protecting the natural environment and our activity at the weekend.

Thank you to those who visited our tent at the show. It was nice to see you all face to face!

For more events keep an eye on our Facebook page and perhaps we’ll see you Friday 27 November at the People’s Climate March in Melbourne or on Saturday at 11am at the NatureWest event.
