FRESH IDEAS FOR FAMILIES AT TANKS MARKETS

- ANDREAS NICOLA

FAMILIES were out in force for the monthly Tanks Markets on Sunday, soaking up the sunshine while browsing local art, sweet treats and some rare plants.

Stallholde­rs assembled around Tanks Arts Centre were kept busy, including one new arrival, Koitaki

Nu Nu Greenhouse. The plant stall’s co-owner, Rob Wood, said the first day at the markets was a success.

“It was great, everyone was interested. We had a lot of people through,” Mr Wood said.

“All three of us co-owners were very happy.

“It is a great market with lots of friendly people.”

The stall has rare plants, including philodendr­on varieties, and plantrelat­ed craft including funking aprons made by co-owner Annie Wolff.

The Tanks Art Centre Sunday Markets are on once a month until November, except in August, when Carnival on Collins takes place.

The next markets will be held on June 26.
