Fresher is a welcoming kit to help first year University students look after their mental health through the act of growing and caring for plants. The kit includes a booklet that gives important tips on how to deal with living in halls and it also acts as a guide to learn why plants are beneficial for their wellbeing.

 

Students are given the essentials to grow mint and thyme on their windowsill, as having plants in their room can help reduce anxiety and stress, clean the air and promote a healthier lifestyle. This kit aims make the difficult transition to halls easier for Freshers.
