Do you carrot about what you’re wearing? From your head to your tomatoes we have you covered. You herb it here first. If you’re not sprouting vegetables you’ll be the laughing stalk of “The Cornucopia Garden” Bunjil Place.

Plant yourself at the crafting table where artist and crafter Sai-Wai Foo will guide your through the a-maize-ing world of constructing paper into un-beet-able accessories to complete your outfit. Make corsages & head pieces to festoon yourself. Forget flowers blossoms & blooms, vegetables are the de rigueur for the stylish set. 

Lettuce entertain you with this adult art-making experience. You wouldn’t be-leaf what you’ll be able to produce. Make it snap-pea & don’t miss it this event.
