Spring Swap at the Environment Centre

Date: Saturday 10th September, 2011

Time: 12pm - 3pm

Spring is the time of year when layers of clothing required start to dwindle, biking becomes a rekindled passion and vegetable gardens are revived...

The Spring Swap & Sale welcomes the change of season by providing a space to reconnect with all these warmer weather month activities forgotten through a giant SWAP!

Items for swapping only are clothes*, books, dvds and cds, while bike parts and seedlings may be swapped or bought.
