As we begin planning for next year’s seventh edition of the globally successful Fascination of Plants Day 2024 around 18th May, we are delighted to report several new countries joining #plantday to celebrate the wonder and diversity of plants worldwide. Colombia, Cyprus, Ethiopia, and Latvia have all confirmed their interest in being part of this biennial celebration of plants involving over 50 countries across four continents. Interest has also been expressed by Denmark, Estonia, Sri Lanka and Taiwan and we look forward to confirming National Coordinators from public sector research institutes or universities in these countries soon. We are hoping to surpass the amazing 813 events organised by participating countries in 2022 and events can be organised anytime from March to November with the highpoint around the official Fascination of Plants Day of 18 May 2024.
