Village Green Market: 7 December Event

Saturday, 7 December 2024, was the perfect day for a market. There was plenty of sunshine, very little wind, and lots of positive energy. Many eager shoppers gathered at the Village Green as early as 7:45 am and waited patiently until the market opened at around 9 am. There were a number of familiar faces from previous second-hand markets. The Conservancy would like to thank everyone who donated used goods for this annual event. Linen, bedding, and other household items were particularly popular. The indigenous plants and Milkwood saplings also received quite a bit of attention.

The plants were supplied on consignment by the Green Futures nursery of the Grootbos Foundation, and the Milkwood saplings were donated by a Pearly Beach resident. The plants on sale were chosen for their suitability to survive and thrive in our unique coastal environment.
