How does it work?
- Bring your (small) plants: House plants, garten plants, herbs, bulbs or seed - anything goes!
- Swap or give away: Find a plan you like and swap it for one of your own - or just take home aplant or seeds you like for free,
When and where?
The plant exchange will take place in April 2025 in both the Rheinbach and Sankt Augustin Campus Libraries (addressees & opening hours below).
Why participate?
- Save resources: Swapping plants saves resources, because fewer plants need to be produced, transported and sold in garden centers - and supports recycling management and reduces waste.
- Lower costs: By participating in a plant exchange instead of buying new plants, you can save a lot of money.
- Fun!
We are looking forward to making the world a little bit greener with your help!
The plant exchange will be accompanied by a special media exhibition on sustainability. The new exhibition shelves have been kindly sponsored by Deutsche Telekom.
From April 2025 to April 2026: out "Year of Sustainability - find out about its events and activities on our website
