Green Shoots of Recovery at The EcoVillage!
Green
and ethical businesses are defying the grey economic climate and
booking up for the EcoVillage at the Kent County Show this year. The
EcoVillage is in its second year and is going from strength to
strength having expanded its space to over 5000sq m, showcasing over
80 exhibitors.
Visitors
to the Kent County Show can come and find ideas and inspiration for
greener living at The EcoVillage from a wide range of exhibitors -
we have everything from cars to insurance, clothes to garden
features, bikes to timber buildings – everything you need for
greener living!
If
gardening is your interest, Co-op will be giving away free wildflower
seeds as part of their Save the Bees Campaign, learn about growing
your own with the Soil Association, or get inspiration from English
Oak.
If
transport is your thing, come and see the Seat Ecomotive range -
three of the most eco-friendly cars on the market, or look at the
latest in electric bikes with Greased Lightening Cycles.
Paperpod
and Playmais will have plenty to keep children occupied and they’ll
love making their own smoothies with Move ‘n’ Smooth! Mums and
Dads will find it hard to resist treating them to clothes from Kidz
Organic or toys and games from Woodland Children.
The
Mark Group will be on hand for advice on making your home energy
efficient, while Invicta Clean Energy, Eternal Energy Systems, Solar
Age and Viridus Energie will be available to discuss how you can help
to power your home with renewable energy.
At
The EcoVillage 2009 visitors will discover exhibitors of all shapes
and sizes, arranged in village streets such as Energy Avenue and
Protect Kent Path, EcoVillage Hall and the Market Marquee. They can
also relax in the EcoVillage Green Picnic Area where Well Hung Meats
will be providing delicious organic food all day, or visit Goji Wah
Wah, a converted London Routemaster bus serving gourmet vegetarian
food.
