PLANT FUTURES
Plant Futures is a student organization at Vanderbilt focused on helping students connect withplants, sustainability, and the local community.
We host speaker events with people from both campus and the Nashville community so students can learn more about topics like sustainable food and environmental work.
We also spend time actually getting our hands dirty and learning how to garden and working together on planting projects. Overall, it’s a space where people can learn, try new things, and think more intentionally about sustainability in a really approachable way.

SPEAR is a student group dedicated to advancing both Vanderbilt and its students in an
environmentally-friendly manner. Our interests range from simple acts of recycling to large-scale
infrastructure projects on campus.

campus and beyond!
