Our Cross-Departmental Plant Swap on September 26, 2025, was a blooming success! More than 100 plant lovers gathered on the GMB Lawn to exchange cuttings, potted plants, and thriving plant babies—growing not only their collections but also connections across the UNC Biochemistry and Biophysics community.
Whether seasoned plant parents or curious newcomers, attendees enjoyed an afternoon of swapping, sharing, and discovering new leafy friends. The event celebrated sustainability, creativity, and collaboration.
