This year’s Houseplant Giveaway to Freshers in the School of Biological Sciences will take place in the Cruickshank Garden between 1200 and 1400 on FRIDAY 15th SEPTEMBER.

We have been providing a house plant to each new student in the School of Biological Science at the end of Fresher’s Week each year since 2016. The students really enjoy choosing their plant and appreciate the kind gesture to make their student accommodation more homely.

Plants should be in pots up to 1 Litre, easy to care for and clearly labelled with name and basic care needs - such as watering and light requirements.

If you are able to help this time it will be very helpful to hear from you – please can plants be delivered as follows: Monday 11th September between 8am and 1pm - Enter via the gate on St Machar Drive. Please take plants to the nursery area and place them on the hardcore triangle, opposite the leaf compost bins.

If you have a heavy load to deliver, it is possible to drive to the Friends Summer House with great caution, heeding the 5mph restriction and with hazard lights on. Plants must then be carried onwards to the delivery zone.

Contact Heather Dale (01330811989, 07739041627, heather@hdgardendesign.co.uk) to volunteer or if delivery is difficult on the appointed day, and with any other queries you may have.
