Take stock at Sustainability Trust’s Spring Market

Wellingtonians who like their shopping local, ethical and eco-friendly will be treated to a Spring Market at Sustainability Trust on September 10.

Sustainability Trust’s EcoCentre in Forresters Lane will be transformed into a buzzing marketplace to shop for home and family, see DIY demos and try out an electric car.

The Spring Market will be held on Saturday, September 10 from 10am to 2pm with the first 50 people through the door gifted goody bags.

Marketgoers can expect to see delicious offerings from La Boca Loca, La Cloche, Element Eats, and Lady Lemon, clothing from LilMooch and Aida Maeby, books from Gecko Press, homewares from Niche Textile Studio and Journey Candles, cosmetics from Apheleia, and Sustainability Trust’s own range of eco-friendly goods.

Sustainability Trust’s home experts will be giving DIY demonstrations on ways to make your homes warmer and more energy efficient alongside a cooking demo on how to make the most of less than fresh food.

There will also be activities for kids to do, including making origami seedling pots.

“Spring is a great time to take stock of your home and garden. A new season is a good opportunity to think about new and more sustainable ways of doing things so come along to the market and get inspired,” says market coordinator Rena Kohere.
