The producers look after The Urban Garden located down at the Village Green!
The Urban Garden is a community-run garden where the UNSW community work together to grow and harvest fresh fruit and veggies.
We hold weekly gardening sessions, workshops and events open to both students and staff!
Gardening stuff the Producers have done in June (and earlier this year) AND an account of the excursion we went on!
Hop off the bus and onto the bike! Bike-ology will fix or service your bike for free, with spare parts that we take off from old bikes, or with student pricing on brand new parts from our local parts suppliers and partners.
Recycling and refurbishing computers, eReuse helps to reduce e-waste in the environment. After salvaging your old tech, we then donate them to socio-economically disadvantaged groups in the community.
The Stationery Reuse Centre is UNSW’s one stop (free) shop for once-loved and re-purposed pens, highlighters, rulers, and everything else that you forget to shove in your pencil case!
