It was thrilling to see this little 'grow free' table in my street yesterday, packed full of limes and early grapefruit. I stopped, keen to take a photograph and collect a few limes. The owner saw me and was happy to chat. He explained that he and his wife have been using a cardboard box on their nature strip to share extra produce with neighbours. It seems they were out recently and saw the little pine table on a kerbside collection 'free to good home'. His wife suggested they pick it up to display and share their produce with their neighbours. What a wonderful opportunity to repurpose and reuse the table, as well as promoting local food sharing and reduced food miles. I only had to drive half a block for my freshly picked limes!
