Contact a local florist or greenhouse, ask them to donate some planters, soil, and small plants (if they do not donate the cost per student participant is ~$5-10, sometimes you can receive a discount). Have the florist come in, and demonstrate how to transplant the plants, how to take care of them etc. This is a good program because many students like some plants in their room to brighten things up and give their room a homey touch. Make sure to do this program in an area in which some soil on the floor won't make too much of a mess.
