Revitalising the shops
So far at the shops, we have:
- welcomed Change Yoga and Wellness, operating out of one of the previously vacant shop fronts
- commissioned a rainforest mural by Dan Byrd and the latest work by Dave Cragg
- trialled the Scullin Traders
- Hosted Floriade re-imagined in 2020
- Re-invigorated the bush garden at the front of the shops with one of our gardening working bees
- installed community garden beds and a community notice board
- installed a water bubbler
- held both the Scullin Wine Down and Twilight events, bringing the community together
- held regular coffee and chat get togethers (see events page for upcoming dates)
See our gallery of before and after pics below to see our work in progress!
