Connecting People to Plants. In a world highly engaged in technology, plants have been, more or less, a sidebar.  But that has changed.  Plants have suddenly become very relevant in all aspects of life, from cleaning the air of toxins to cooling urban heat islands and sequestering carbon.  Plants are now the ‘go to’ for a sense of happiness and well-being, and pollinator gardens are the new entertainment centers.  Today, it’s about the potential of plants to add value to our lives and environments.  Discover how plants can change lives for the better.
