The Office of Sustainability participated in the Farmers Market on 4/17 to host events for students, faculty, and staff.
For the student activity, students were provided terracotta pots of different sizes that they could decorate for future usage like potting a plant. There were a wide range of creative designs like spring flowers, hearts, and Snoopy. This was a great opportunity to chat with students and learn more about their sustainability interests while also helping them cope with their climate anxiety.
Faculty and staff at the university were able to stop by the farmers market to grab a plant for their office. There were a wide variety of plants such as spider plants and peperomia. This was a popular event as the giveaway ended in about 15 minutes which helped showcase just how popular office plants can be.
These two activities at the Farmers Market were a great way to engage with the larger campus community!
