Our Mission

Who is Healthy Plants Foundation?

We are a coalition of mission-driven organizations, industry leaders, and individuals united by a shared commitment to advancing plant health education, funding school garden programs, and connecting the next generation of agricultural leaders to the resources they need to thrive — with a deep focus on reaching underserved schools and communities across the Southwest. From the excitement of children working in a school garden from which they will harvest their first vegetables, to the dinner table where a university student discovers their career in plant science, Healthy Plants Foundation is cultivating the leaders, learners, and communities that will carry the future of healthy plants and healthy people forward.
