PLANNING a spring clear-out, why not donate your unwanted clothes, household goods, cuttings and seedlings to the Wonthaggi Men’s Shed Garden for the Spring Free Shop on Saturday September 6.

Rain or shine everything is free according to Garden Coordinator Jessica Harrison.

“Trade your trash for free spring seedlings,” said Jessica.

“Find something to take home.

“One person’s trash is someone else’s treasure.”

“It stops things going to landfill.

Books, toys, clothes and handmade goods are all welcome.

The Spring Free Shop will be open from 9am to midday on Saturday September 6 at the Wonthaggi Men’s Shed Garden located along the rail trail across from Apex Park.

No furniture or electrical goods please.
