Spring Into New Learnings With Plant Futures!
Happy Spring Plant Futurists! Spring is a time of renewal, growth and rejuvenation. A time of transition from winter to summer and a welcoming of warmer weather, longer days, and the return of plant and animal life after a period of dormancy. Spring is also a time for new beginnings, the start of a fresh cycle of life. In the spirit of embracing the change, growth, and new opportunities that this magical season epitomizes, we invite you to continue to educate yourself and grow on your unique path towards changing the food system for the better with plants. The following books, podcasts and recipes have been curated by our team at Plant Futures to celebrate this new season of vibrance. Enjoy your reading, listening and journey ahead!
