National Plant Health Week is an annual designated week of action to raise public awareness and engagement on how to keep our plants healthy. This year it runs from 11 – 13 May.
It is a collaborative effort by over 30 organisations across the UK who are committed to protect the health of our nation’s plants and trees. This year it is celebrating the importance of being a good plant health citizen. Over the last 10 years a range of activities have been undertaken to support this work, which includes education, training, and citizen science work. With an emphasis on working together, the participants can reach a larger audience and more effectively communicate and amplify vital messages surrounding plant health. The week also incorporates the United Nations International Day of Plant Health.
The website has a range of resources and list of actions you can take to be a good plant health citizen this National Plant Health Week.
