Repair Cafe Payneham is a free monthly, open community event aiming to reduce waste in landfills, pass on valuable repairing knowledge, and create a sense of community. It’s a place where you can bring your broken items for fixing and learn how to fix them yourself – with the help of our skilled volunteer repairers.
Our sessions typically include electronic, electric, clothing, small furniture and general repairs. We post about our monthly volunteers and repairs they will be able to help you with closer to the event date on our main Facebook page.
Please note:
•One item at a time – one item is permitted per person at one time. Once that item has been completed, another item may be placed in the queue
•Last repairs at 11.30am – or earlier if we are very busy
•No drop-off service – visitors are expected to remain with the repairer to help with the process, if possible, or learn how it is done
•Donations – our Repair Café is a free service, but we welcome donations to help us cover the costs
Natural plant dyes and how to use them
Payneham Community Centre374 Payneham RdAdelaide, SA5070 Map
Presenter Kylie Willison will demonstrate how to dye textiles using plants traditionally used to dye fabric, such as walnut, madder, onion and turmeric.
Learn what plants are suitable and what type of results you can expect. If you would like to get hands on and have a go, Kylie will have a small supply of fabric to test, or bring your own fabric scraps (nothing big, and it needs to be 100% natural fibre - cotton, silk or wool).
Please bring small glass jars and gloves if you would like to take some dyes home for experimenting.

What to bring? Any homegrown produce including vegetables, fruit, herbs, flowers, seeds, seedlings, cuttings etc. or homemade items such as jams, chutneys and baked goods. Please ensure that you include an ingredients list for any homemade foods.
Please also consider the environment and try to keep plastic packaging to a minimum.
Arrive from 9.30 am and place items on the share tables. At 10am everyone is free to take what they like.
Please come along even if you don’t have much or anything to contribute; maybe you will the following month or just provide us with a smile and your presence. The produce swap is about connecting with your local community.
Everyone is welcome.

Unley Community Centre18 Arthur StreetAdelaide, SA5061 Map
Join us at the fifth workshop this year, organised by Grow, Grow, Grow Your Own group.
𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝟐 𝐩𝐦 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝟐.𝟑𝟎 𝐩𝐦 𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲
Winter. It’s that time of year to take stock of your fruit trees, including citrus, to undertake
pruning, and to think about winter plantings.
In particular, citrus trees are in many Adelaide gardens. Lemons, limes, oranges, mandarins and
many more. What is the best way to plant, grow, fertilise, harvest and prune them? How
should we handle their pests?
This workshop is an interactive workshop for you to ask your questions.
Our presenter is Alan Halsted, well known in our workshops – particularly for his informative Question and Answer sessions.
Alan is a professional organic local gardener with a specialty in home vegetable and fruit gardens - especially citrus. He is passionate about encouraging people to be more connected to their own gardens, not just productively but also aesthetically. Your garden is also your sanctuary! He is involved in community gardens, community markets and is a committee member of the Rare Fruit Society of South Australia.
