Plant and Honey Sale + Wellness Walk

Seneca, in partnership with the SSF and the Environmental Landscape Management program, is hosting a Plant and Honey Sale from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Northern Hive (Room MH1510, Magna Hall).

Peruse student-made terrariums and a variety of student-grown plants, including tropicals, Peperomia and succulents like aloe, Echeveria, jade, snake and spider plants. All are available in four- and six-inch pots.  

Jars of Seneca’s own raw, unpasteurized wildflower honey are also available. Harvested at our King and Newnham campuses, each jar costs $20 and contains 1 kg of honey.  

Make sure to bring either your credit or debit card, as only those methods of payment are accepted. 

Following the sale, you are invited to join the King Recreation team for a 45-minute guided wellness walk around King Campus, starting at 1:30 p.m. from the Northern Hive. If you are interested in the wellness walk, then please register by Friday, Feb. 27

Friendly-reminder
 

You can enjoy Fairtrade coffee at The Market — located within The Pond, Newnham’s cafeteria — all year long. Bring your own mug and you’ll receive a 10‑cent discount on your purchase.

From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., we’ll also be hosting a tabling event in The Pond to promote the Friendlier reusable container program and its refund system. It’s a great chance to learn how the program works and how you can take part.
