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.

This webinar is aimed at neurodivergent students. While the focus will be on ADHD and respective coping strategies, students on the autism spectrum and other neurodivergent students are very welcome to join.
For neurodivergent students, the demands of studying, everyday life, chores and part time jobs can be a significant challenge. Seemingly „simple“ tasks such as opening letters, dealing with bureaucracy, managing time or cleaning a desk can be highly stressful. At the same time, neurodivergent people very often already have many resources and strategies.
The goal of this webinar is to
- widen existing knowledge on neurodiversity
- strengthen and add to existing skills, resources and strategies
- have space for exchange with other neurodivergent students
