Quest for Edible, Weird, and Wild Plants

Did you know there’s wild pepper and cocoa growing right here on campus? NUS is home to a surprising diversity of plants — from wild edibles like these to peculiar species hidden in plain sight.

Join us for a plantastic session where you’ll learn about the greenery around you. Discover which plants are safe to nibble, find out about their distinctive physical traits, and what makes them unique.

Come dig into the hidden wonders of NUS and leaf with some newfound knowledge!


This event is organised by our librarian Yuan Ye.


Discover more hidden treasures at the exhibition by students from LSM3258 Comparative Botany class.

Exhibition is happening till 19 November at Medicine+Science Library Atrium (Level 1)!
