City Harvest officially launched their market garden and paddock-to-plate-to-paddock demonstrator site at The Farmer’s Place in Freshwater Creek on Tuesday 13th November.

As a part of their commitment to a circular food economy, and recognition that reuse is preferable to recycling, City Harvest are trialing a garden pot exchange facility.

Please feel free to bring in empty plastic nursery pots ensuring they are free from debris, labels and excess dirt and place them in our pot recycling bin at the front of The Farmer’s Place store. Deposited pots will be cleaned and given a new life in our on-site propagation nursery.

Please ensure that pots deposited in the pot exchange bin are in a reusable condition. Any broken or damaged plastic nursery pots should be recycled in your kerbside recycling bin.

You can also help yourself to the pots in the bin if you are in need of some for your own garden. By reusing them you will help save energy required to recycle, however the pots come as they are (unsterilised).
