2023 was the third full year of The Plant Initiative and we experienced a lot of growth in our programing this year as is described in this report. This included online events, grants, our monthly e-mail newsletter, podcasts, a report, social media, and collaboration with Networking with Plants in the Anthropocene.
A big thanks to Plant Initiative board member Mya Hummel for donating the design for the report and to Betsey Crawford of The Soul of the Earth for allowing us to include her beautiful photos of flowers. Also, thanks to Vegan Printer for their generous discount on the printed version of the report .
As an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff, we have done a lot with a modest budget. Thank you for all of the support and interest you have shown over the past year!
