Think spring… by pitching in at greenhouse at transplant time…


It is true that April is the cruelest month. Today’s rain, cold and snow showers provide the evidence. Why not warm things up with a trip to the campus greenhouse over at Laboratory Sciences? This Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (April 22-24), between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., Vicki Medland and friends are welcoming volunteers to help transplant baby tomatoes and other heirloom plants. Research has shown, Medland says, that hugs, gardening, and giving gifts will boost your oxytocin levels and help to stabilize and elevate your moods: “You can get all three oxytocin boosts when you join friends to give the gift of your time to transplant plants and support the NAS Heirloom Plant Sale!” For more information contact Medland, call ext. 2342.
