Volunteer at the Eco Living Display Centre
Located next to the Shire Nursery at The Briars in Mt Martha, The Eco Living Display Centre is a wonderful place to volunteer. We offer indoor and outdoor roles. Whichever you choose, you’ll be helping to promote sustainable living practices that don’t cost the Earth.
Seeking Garden Enthusiasts
Are you keen to get your hands dirty? Our display garden demonstrates a bucketload of ideas, from water saving strategies, to a zero-food-mile kitchen garden, wicking beds, food forest, compost bays and a worm farm. During Autumn we will be focussed on our winter crops, rejuvenating vegetable beds and fruit trees, planting ‘green manure’ and building up our soils in preparation for the next growing season. We’d love to have your company in the garden.
When: Every Friday 1-3pm

We will teach you everything you need to know about our eco-friendly display house!
