After noticing that the Bunnings store in Byron Bay was periodically discarding unsold seedlings and plants, I asked if they would consider instead donating them to local public schools for use in students’ gardens.
After a series of exchanges the manager has agreed, on a trial basis, to allow vetted schools to pick them up by prior arrangement.
I invite other local businesses to consider similar measures that promote good will and sustainability within our community.
