The show features a variety of exhibitors and those interested in a sustainable lifestyle or products for their business can come along and see the great line-up of natural, eco and organic products already available as well as preview new products and services at the show which will be held at Alexander Park in May.

“We have a great addition to our show this year; it is an expert advice centre where people can bring along their new house or renovation plans and talk to advisors about the best eco-friendly and sustainable solutions for their project.

“This is the show’s second year and we are continuing to build on our success from last year with exciting new events including a fashion show, a youth forum and a Green Drinks event where people can meet and network together.”
