Plant Library
The mission of the Plant Library is to educate students about the many benefits of houseplants and support the propagation of houseplants throughout CC’s residential spaces. Indoor plants provide healthier air, minimize stress, reduce mental fatigue, and improve productivity. This program is designed to help make caring for plants more accessible for students who may need to leave campus for breaks throughout the school year or study abroad opportunities. This pilot program launched in the spring of 2024 will be returning to the student community this academic year.

How to Get Started:
Program Expectations:
After selecting a plant of your choice, we ask that you sign an agreement that:
- Acknowledges your participation in the Plant Library program and your responsibility to take care of the plant(s) you check out.
- To participate in this program, we ask for a cash deposit between $5-10, depending on the plant variety and size, due at the time of your plant selection.
- Students participating in this program will receive the cash deposit returned in full as long as:
- both the plant and the pot are returned,
- the plant is in healthy condition and/or a propagated part of the plant is returned,
- and the plant is returned within the appropriate window for return at the Office of Sustainability.
Each plant checked out will be expected to be returned at the end of the academic year/semester. This provides other people with the opportunity of loving and living with your plant :)
