NFPs supporting, enabling and empowering those in need to adopt self sustaining food gardening practices are looking to establish Seed Banks.

Banksia Sustainability Foundation Awards

Congratulations! The Banksia Sustainability Foundation Awards ceremony was held last night in Sydney.  It was a thrill and honour for Tiny Trowel to be named as a finalist in the Communication for Change Award category.  To be listed amongst major companies was truly awesome! Congratulations to the winner - 'War On Waste' film makers. The documentary series was a catalyst for sweeping changes in industry, commerce and neighbourhoods.  Signifiant influence towards living a more sustainable lifestyle has motivated thousands of Australians to adopt more environmentally friendly choices.  Well done! 'War OnWaste' film makers were so impressive they took out the overall winner with the Golden Award.  Congratulations once again. A big thanks and shout out to Costa for his live broadcast on Facebook!

Banksia Award film, made in my own home! While I was indisposed in Melbourne, the film brought the story of Tiny Trowel to Sydney. Bless and Opa! Copyright © 2017 Tiny Trowel, All rights reserved.
