🌿 A minute to pause, breathe, and simply be.

September is Self-Care Awareness Month, a time dedicated to remind us of the importance of taking care of our mental, physical, and emotional well-being 💚 Throughout this month, we invite you to pause for a moment and join us in a "minute of meditation" using our plants and the Plant Wave device - equipment that allows us to listen to the plants internal biological activity through biosonification!

Take this as your sign to slow down for just a moment and enjoy our plants & beautiful campus environment 🌱

The greenhouse is the perfect place to step away from the busyness of the day, and spend a quiet moment surrounded by great plant energies
