The Green Directory - Australia's Green Business Directory

For more than 15 years this popular green-minded store has been providing South Australia with alternatives to the over packaged goods found in supermarkets. Customers are encouraged to bring in their own empty shampoo, laundry or liquid soap bottles for refilling and can even walk away with a filled up peanut butter or honey jar from the food section. 

Business Hours: 9-5 Monday-Friday; 9-4 Saturday; closed Sundays and Public Holidays

Other popular products available in bulk include a range of laundry powders, olive oil and over 50 different essential oils. Either purchase in a Waste Not container or bring in your own empty jar or bottle to save even more. 

We also stock a range of certified organic tea and coffee and for those who like to grow their own, we have a range of Greenpatch vegetable seeds.
