Gardening day – save the bees

Gardening day – save the bees

May 20 is World Bee Day!

Our fantastic Susco has decided to focus once again on the fashion industry, bringing in stories from our own community and pushing for a shift in mindset when we think of clothing and consumerism. On Thursday 11 April 2024 there was a focus called: ‘Fast fashion – what are you doing about this?’

In preparation for this, on Friday 19 April students and local children gathered to plant bee friendly seeds in various locations on campus. The objective was not only to beautify our spaces, but also to provide juicy nectar to the bees, our indispensable pollinators. We ended the gardening session with some snacks in Villa Lucchese garden!
