11:00am - 2:00pm 
Student Hub, ground floor

Drop in to a quick and fun-filled session to create your own ‘seed bomb’ using a mixture of clay, compost and your choice of native or herb seeds.

Drying overnight, these bombs can then be tossed into your garden or pot. No need to dig them in, the rain (or your watering) will do the work to melt the clay and reveal the seeds and compost within, starting your own native or herb patch!  

11:00am - 12:00 noon 
FUSA Club Space, Student Hub, level 1

This hands-on workshop is where you'll learn how to make your own reusable food wrap to take home! Using natural materials like beeswax, cotton fabric, and jojoba oil, you'll create a sustainable alternative to plastic cling wrap. This is perfect for storing snacks, sandwiches, and leftovers. You will also hear practical tips to help avoid and reduce waste in your home and on campus.

10:00am - 2:00pm
