Celebrating spring with family
Latrobe City Mayor, Councillor Kellie O'Callaghan said the event was a great way to bring families together to celebrate the coming of spring. "And it is also an opportunity to learn - about growing food, sustainability and no waste recipes, as well as have fun! Many of the workshops are being delivered or supported by local traders."
"We are also delighted to welcome guest speaker, Nornie Bero, to the event. Nornie owns two successful restaurants which highlight First Nations ingredients, culture and stories.
