The plants, they speak to me

Have you noticed the plants?  The other day, I saw something that I had never seen before.  It reminds me of the color blindness tests.  Can you see it?  Look closely...

In fact, look around.  The office space in B200 is full of beautiful plants, well-maintained, and healthy (unlike my house plants).  Look out the windows, and you see plants, trees, and bushes. There are many articles about how greening up an office makes people happy and more productive.  

Recently, we added plants to the NCRC Help Me Now office, and have seen a 1,000 fold reduction in code blues.  Coincidence?  I think not.  While I can't put a finger on it, I have always known that plants make me happier, especially hops.

Working across campus, in so many dark basement locations, I really appreciate the effort taken to make NCRC such a great place to work.
