The Green House



Drinking from jam jars reminds me of scholling cocktails at Cocomangas in Byron Bay. A right of passage.

Yesterday, instead of cocktails, I was sipping fresh peppermint tea picked from the herb gardens growing on the walls of the sustainable restaurant. Temporarily perched on the Acmi Side of Fed Square ‘The Green House by Joost’ is built from recycled and recyclable material.

Joost takes spreading the plight of the planet to the next level by creating an educational environmental experience in the I’ve-got-to-get-to-work-my-life-is-so-busy-city-slicker-what-does-country-air-smell-like contrast of Melbourne’s CBD.



Head in and enjoy a jam jar latte. Or, if you plan to go after 4pm, for cheeky bevvie from a melted down wine or stubby bottle, make sure you sign up as a member so you can get in, or just go to your nearest hipster store and pick up a bunch of tickets. It folds up on Jan 29.
