PHOTO: BRENDA HARWOODThe founding members of the Green Island Shed have come up with an impressive set of ideas for things to make with wood. The aim of all this industry is to raise about $6500 for three shipping containers - one 40-foot and two 20-foot - to form the structure of the Green Island Shed. Under the guidance of co-ordinator Pip Weber, the Green Island Shed held its first meeting late last year, with eight local men and women taking on the challenge to create the shed. The Green Island Shed will join the Greater Green Island Community Network in selling goods at a pop-up shop hosted by Agnes Cafe, at 219 Main South Rd.
