RESET, a free festival for greener living features the return of much-loved events and brand-new experiences, including free family-friendly events, workshops and art.
New to the program this year is Planting Party (7 Sept), a day of entertainment, celebration and inspiration centred on planting and propagation.
Favourites returning this year are the Zero Waste Festival (6 Sept) and the Big Toy Swap (2 Oct), focused on helping people reduce waste in practical ways, and community days of connection and grassroots action, for World Cleanup Day (19 Sept) and World Rivers Day (28 Sept).
The Test Garden Open Days also return this spring with a new program of talks and artist-led workshops, and outdoor cinema on the Big Screen is back, with green-themed family-friendly favourites planned for the school holidays.
Plan your spring RESET adventure at Fed Square.
