E.C.O.Active Wagga Campus - Weekly Student Garden Activities 

E.C.O. Active are a student collective at CSU Wagga who are passionate about having fun in the environment as well as protecting it. In 2011 they applied for a sustainability grant through CSU Green to build an student E.C.O. garden. The garden is a sustainable community hub and is located behind New Res.

Recently a hybrid energy generation system was installed at the garden containing PV cells and a wind turbine. The renewable energy generated is used to power the irrigation system, the rain water tank pump and the lights in the shed when necessary.  

The community space at the garden is used for a number of activities including a weekly gardening evening for gardening enthusiasts or inexperienced people who would like to learn more about gardening or are interested in getting involved. 

The weekly gardening evening is on at the student E.C.O. garden behind New Res on TBA. 

For more information on activities at the student garden and E.C.O. Active visit: E.C.O. Active Blog Spot
