Hello friends,
Let us CELEBRATE and join the #CHALLENGE!
Today, April 13th, is celebrated annually as International Plant Appreciation Day. This day is dedicated to recognising the importance of plants, their diverse benefits, and their vital role in maintaining our Mother Earth’s ecosystems. Whether it’s a towering tree, a delicate flower, or a humble houseplant, this day is a reminder of how vital plants are to our survival and well-being.
From dense rainforests to backyard gardens, they produce the oxygen we breathe (& absorb the carbon dioxide), provide food and medicine, regulate the climate, and support our entire ecosystems.
Let’s grow our gratitude—one leaf at a time
How can ‘Local Guides’ join the celebration?
