During Earth Month this year, the University of Utah is focusing on Climate Hope – the intersection of climate change and mental health. Climate Hope promotes togetherness and focusing on what is in our control and what is going well versus the helplessness often felt due to the dangers of climate change.
Planting Hope will take place in the Marriott Library East Plaza from 10am-3pm on Wednesday, April 17th. Guests will receive free plants, seeds, gardening supplies, and zines. There will also be a rock painting table!
Sponsored by the Eccles Health Sciences Library, Red Butte Garden, ASUU, and the Bennion Center.

Completely SOLD OUT of plants by 2PM! There are some leftover zines about gardening at the little seed library next to the front desk in EHSL. We had a great turn out. Some light rain in the morning turned into blazing sun. Thanks to all who joined! Happy Earth Month.
