Today we are delighted to publish our Fascination of Plants Day 2024 Success Stories which provide an insight into the wide range of inspiring events about plants held across the world last year.
The seventh biennial international Fascination of Plants Day was a huge global success with over 670 interactive events across 65 countries engaging thousands of people around plant science and the manyfold uses of plants.
People took to social media and shared their photos and event stories using the hashtag #PlantDay. This increased the @PlantDay18May X/twitter account following to over 4,600 followers and Instagram to over 1000 followers. Some events featured in outside publications and media, broadcasted on tv and radio, and reported in local and national newspapers.
Many thanks to the over 65 National Coordinators and thousands of enthusiastic event organisers across the globe for engaging people from their local area, city, region and even the entire country in exciting events! We also thank the many partners and contributors who helped EPSO engage its broad audience by providing resources to make this success possible.
We invite you to join us in preparing for an even bigger and better Fascination of Plants Day in 2026! Start planning events in your country and keep posting about plants. We look forward to seeing you all and your fascinating interactive events in 2026!
