Check Out A Plant Today

This is a pilot program through the Office of Sustainability led by the Waste Team and will launch this semester for the student community this academic year. As a brand-new program, it will be launching with pop-up events throughout the year giving students opportunities to get plants for a low price which will be refunded if the plants are returned in good condition. 

How to Get Started:

Swing by during a pop-up event to pick up a plant 🌿

• Block 2 Plant Exchange Launch Event 
  
  • Location: Office of Sustainability 
  • Date: Sept. 27th 
  • Time: 2:30-4:30 p.m. 
  • Description: Drop by the OOS for the initial launch of the Plant Exchange. Plants will be available on a first-come-first-serve basis until the end of the event or we run out!

Program Expectations:

After selecting a plant of your choice, we ask that you sign an agreement that:

• Acknowledges your participation in the Plant Exchange program and your responsibility to take care of the plant(s) you check out. 
• In order to participate in this program, we ask for a cash deposit between $2-10, depending on the plant variety, due at the time of your plant selection.
• Students participating in this program will receive the cash deposit returned in full as long as:  
  • both the plant and the pot are returned,
  • the plant is in healthy condition, 
  • and the plant is returned at the appropriate time and place (most likely at the end of the spring semester or during any of the pop-up events throughout the year).
