Marvellous Minibeasts

This is a cool story.
I do love how entomological Pokémon is. And lots of the ‘evolutions’ are based on lifecycle metamorphosis.
Let’s start finding bugs in our backyards and upload them to iNaturalist.
Gotta catch them all!

What Pokémon has to do with rare Australian insects As Pokémon turns 30, a video game inspired by insect-collecting continues to shape how scientists think and teach about bugs today.

I had such a wonderful afternoon with Jo, Bec, Kate, Melody and the Urban Revolution Australia team having a farewell party for the Vic Park shop. What a legacy!
I can’t wait to see what they achieve at their new home at The Carlisle Collective.
So much love and best wishes for the big move and a super-busy week ahead.
Thank you for the pink bubbles (my fave 🥰), the best guacamole I’ve ever tasted, and the haul of sustainable goodies I took home. Just doing my bit to give them less to pack. 🤣
I think I’m having one last nostalgic look around in this pic with Jo and Bec. 😆🥰🐞❤️

I’ll be there with my keep cup! An end of an era. ❤️

After many glorious, gritty, soil-under-the-fingernails years in Vic Park… it’s time. 🌿💚

Tomorrow is Urban Revolution’s final day at our Vic Park store, and we’d love you to help us send the space off in style before we roll on over to The Carlisle Collective

We’ll be raising a glass (well… attempting to 😉) between 3–5pm to celebrate all the workshops, worm farms, compost chats, low-tox swaps and beautiful community moments this little shop has held.

Small logistical detail: our glasses are already packed. So if you’d like to toast with us, please BYO your own glass, mug, jam jar etc (to save on dishes and disposable cups) and join the farewell fun. We will provide something sparkling to put in it!

Pop in, share a memory, have a hug, clink a cup, and help us close this chapter the way we opened it — together.

There'll also be a chance to grab some great products at discounted prices to help us lighten our load as we make our move to The Carlisle Collective. Can't make it in store? You can also shop the discounts online – they're up now! 💃🕺

Vic Park, you’ve been wonderful. Carlisle… we’re coming in hot. 🔥🌱

Great news from Jo and the team at Urban Revolution Australia!! 🥰

The announcement you've been waiting for! Drum roll please... 🥁🥁🥁

Thanks for coming along this metamorphosis with us 🦋 🦋

This is beautiful. ❤️🐌🕸️🪱❤️

Big love for small beings.
That’s where the magic lives.

Big news from Jo at Urban Revolution Australia. I look forward to seeing where they move to!
Meanwhile, treat yourself to some discounted shopping this week. ☺️

It's the end of an era. From next year, Urban Revolution will no longer live at 284 Albany Hwy. We're still figuring out our next steps, but you'll still be able to shop online with us until we're ready to open our doors again at a new location.

As a thank you for making the Urban Rev store possible and contributing to its evolution over the past 9 years, we're marking down most of the store by 20%.

Grab your favourite everyday items as well as quality gifts at a great price. 7 days only. Tell your friends!

We look forward to stepping into this new chapter and celebrating the store’s 9th anniversary with you on 1 March next year 💚

Don’t forget to put out a minibeast-friendly water bowl today! ☀️🥵🔥

Get a jump on your Christmas shopping this afternoon/evening at Urban Revolution Australia! 💚🎄

Hope to see you at our Community Evening! A chance to cross-pollinate and share experiences with each other. Drink and nibbles provided + if you're in the mood to shop we'll have eco gifts and some marked down items for our very green version of Black Friday. xx The UR Team

Saturday is my last drop off of ladybirds to Urban Revolution Australia!
Not many left so get in early. Opening time is 10am. ☺️
