Among the Trees is an ethical and sustainability based start-up for reclaimed timber located in Marrickville.
Saving timber from demolitions or other discarded uses and making it available to the public through a retail timber shop and woodworking classes. Accessibility to wood doesn't just mean being wheelchair friendly (which we are), it also means helping customers understand how to use and source reclaimed timber. To make it as easy as possible to work with, we offer custom machining and glueing, so the timber in our store can be squared, resurfaced and cut to specific dimensions. We also help empower individuals to have the confidence to undertake woodworking projects by offering woodworking beginners classes that are taught with simple hand tools.
In addition to their goal of saving timber from landfill and empowering the community to utilize this salvaged timber - Among the Trees also hosts a range of events such as exhibitions, woodworking competitions, markets, pop-up shops, panel discussions/lectures and more.
The workshop/classroom as well as the gallery are available for hire so get in touch if you have an event you'd like to run in our space.
