Planting Seeds of Hope event

University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College

On February 14, 2009, more than 300 people planted budding Carolina jasmine vines along the university's fence to symbolize hope for the campus community.

The event was held to commemorate the border-fence agreement between UTB/TSC and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

The event was birthed from a suggestion that a fence should be topped with flowers instead of barbed wire.
