Members of the horticulture honor society Pi Alpha Xi and Hortus Forum, Cornell’s undergraduate horticulture club, have teamed up to rejuvenate the long-neglected planters in the foyer of Plant Science Building.
Matthew Bond ’14 and Maddy Olberg ’14 took time out from studying for finals Tuesday to pull out the dusty old plants and replace them new Spathiphyllum (Peace Lilies), Peperomia, and creeping Ficus — chosen because they can weather the low-light and otherwise unfriendly conditions in the foyer.
Other society and club members will help maintain the planters.
