Thinking Green is a free community sustainable living workshop series presented by the City of Swan, split into 2 month programs which align with the Noongar seasons. They are held at the City's libraries and other local venues.

The City of Swan is pleased to offer its residents and ratepayers a $130 subsidy on a new worm farm.
This reduces your outlay to $130 and includes a free instructional workshop. There is also an option of a $65 subsidy to buy 1kg of worm, reducing your outlay to $65. This is ideal for those who have an existing worm farm which needs revitalising.
