How Can Plants Promote Our Well-Being?
In cooperation with the Sustainability Office, “Meet & Grow: Plants – Mind – Care” invites you to explore the connection between plants, mental health, and self-care in a hands-on way.
In this interactive, 30-minute workshop, you’ll gain fascinating insights into scientific findings on how plants and working with soil can reduce stress, promote health, and positively influence well-being. You’ll also learn about the positive impact houseplants can have on the indoor microclimate. Afterward, you’ll get hands-on experience by potting your own plant. You’ll receive practical tips on selecting sustainable and ethically sourced plants, as well as on caring for low-maintenance houseplants and useful plants, along with helpful information on plant care and mental health.
In addition to planting together, the event also focuses on connecting with other members of the university community. Meet & Grow offers the chance to take a moment to unwind, try something new, and gain inspiration for better self-care and a more sustainable daily life.
