The Knox Repair Cafe meets monthly (excluding January) to fix your broken items, stopping them from going to landfill.
No bookings required, just bring along your items for repair!
In 1985, the Knox Environment Society established what is believed to be one of the first indigenous nurseries in Australia. The Indigenous Nursery is completely volunteer run and most of the money the Society earned through plant sales goes back into the community for environmental campaigns and projects, both locally and globally, such as the Sword-grass Brown Butterfly project, local wildlife carers, lobbying for better public transport and donations to other groups striving for similar objectives.
To find out more about what our Nursery volunteers do, please please see our Volunteering at the KES Nursery page.
If you would like to become a volunteer, please see our Membership page.
If you would like to visit us or buy plants, please see our Location and Open Hours.
