is the movement to improve the world through the power of plants.
Tools and Resources for Adults Working with Youth
We all have the power to introduce youth to the world of horticulture and the critical role plants have in our lives. We have a free educator site with lesson plans, activities, video, games, quizzes and more - and a student contest.
Access all lesson plans, activities and an online learning module at our microsite.
Plants to the Rescue! Plant Mash-up Contest
Students across the country have the opportunity to flex their problem solving muscles by participating in our Plants to the Rescue! Plant Mash-up Contest that teachers and professors can host in the classroom. Students identify challenges in their communities and imagine their own unique plant-based solutions to those issues. The entries will include an illustration and an essay describing the challenge and the proposed plant-based solution. We are excited to see what your students come up with! Send Seed Your Future your winners to be highlighted on our social media platforms.

Tools and Resources for the Horticulture Industry
Partners, horticulture employers, colleges and universities and others who work with youth need materials to help tell the story of the power of plants and green-collar careers. We've created new infographics, videos, and story-telling resources just for you.
