‘It’s a chance to reduce our impact on the environment as well as engaging with other groups.’

The Spring Festival will also feature environmental talks, planting with Josh Byrne and kids spaces at the Perth Cultural Centre.

The trail’s co-founder Andrew Valder said the initiative, which will see thousands of sales set up on October 26, aimed to promote sustainability while buyers could also find some hidden gems.
