Adopt a plant

Thursday 12 October 2023 - 3pm - 5pm
Pump House, Docklands Campus

Looking for a plant to brighten up your student room? These plants need a home, and they’re waiting for you to adopt them! Being creative is one of the best ways to reduce stress, and being around nature is great for our wellbeing. Combine the two with our adopt a plant session!

Come along and paint your own ceramic plant pot, then pick out your own succulent or cactus, along with a plant adoption certificate.

We have a range of coloured paint pens for you to choose from. Simply, paint, allow to dry, then varnish and let dry once more.

There’s no need to fire your pot, but you should always paint both the inside and outside of the pot with acrylic paint to make it waterproof and prevent leakage.

One pot and plant per person. Please be mindful as some plants will have spines that may cause injury.
