WHAT’S HAPPENING IN SEPTEMBER

Editor’s letter Welcome!

As it’s spring, it must be time for a refresh – so we’ve given the magazine a bit of a general spruce up! You’ll find a fresher feel and a new typeface here or there... but there is still lots of inspiration on giving your home an update, whether you head in store or online to browse the terrific new ranges of outdoor furniture (see page 21), or are looking for some great ideas for a new

While we’re talking trends, one of the prettiest we’ve seen is kintsugi. This Japanese art can not only make items look more beautiful AFTER they’ve been repaired, it can also tick the sustainability box by keeping broken crockery out of landfill. See how to do it on page 80.

Enjoy the issue!

SHARPEN GARDEN TOOLS PROTECT FRUIT

Sharp edges make clean cuts, which can help reduce pest and disease problems. Deter fruit fly by hanging traps early in the season, and spray foliage when flies are active.

If using garden products like fertiliser or pesticides around fruit and vegies, follow instructions, delay harvesting for a few days and rinse well before cooking and eating. For more on what to do in the garden during September, go to bunnings.com.au/garden-diaries

BUNNINGS HELPING HAND WINNERS!

Bunnings Helping Hand is an annual initiative

we launched with the AFL in April, designed to help community football clubs build and maintain facilities that are vital to their operation. Since the establishment of a national competition, the number of girls and women playing AFL has increased from 194,952 to 586,422. With such rapid growth, sporting facilities at community clubs are struggling to meet demand; in fact, a recent audit of facilities showed fewer than 30 per cent were considered female-friendly. With this in mind, the inaugural provision of Bunnings Helping Hand grants in 2021 have been entirely dedicated to the building and upgrade of infrastructure for female footballers. Congratulations to our state winners – each will receive $30,000 from Bunnings to complete their project.
