Frankston will be focusing on sustainable living and making the most of food this month, with the annual Community Food Fest taking place.
The festival is organised by the Frankston City Council and the Frankston Food Access Network, which connects residents to share ideas about sustainability or work on community projects.
While Seaford residents will need to travel to nearby Frankston for most of the events, there is one being held on their doorstep.
On Saturday, May 16th, garden teacher Seila Hierk will be at New Harvest Organics to teach people how to use their kitchen waste. Instead of throwing away kitchen scraps, Seila will show how they can be used to grow new fruit and vegetables. There are some free places available at the workshop for anyone who has not attended an event at New Harvest before.
Other events include a celebration of the community garden in Frankston, and a chance to learn more about edible weeds.
Additionally, on Saturday, May 16th at Montague Place Maternal and Child Health, residents can take their home-grown eggs, fruit and vegetables, as well as jams, chutneys and other home-made items, for a food-swapping session.
Anyone interested in attending the events should look out for poster printing advertising the festival. A brochure can also be downloaded from the Frankston City Council website, which also lists details of all the events online.
