Our current recommendations:

“Meet & Grow: Plants – Mind – Care”

A partnership with the Sustainability Unit.

Plants can do far more than just brighten up a room – they can also boost your wellbeing. At ‘Meet & Grow: Plants – Mind – Care’, you’ll discover the positive impact that houseplants and working with soil can have on mental health. In this 30-minute hands-on session, you’ll first gain a brief insight into scientific findings on the stress-reducing effects of plants, the improvement of indoor air quality, and the importance of microorganisms in the soil for well-being.

You can then get stuck in and pot a plant of your own. You’ll receive practical tips on choosing and looking after low-maintenance houseplants or kitchen garden plants. You’ll also be given information leaflets with recommendations for suitable houseplants and vegetable plants, as well as a concise overview of the key links between plants, plant care and mental health.
