A care for plants is a care for the planet, say Ben Goulet-Scott, Ph.D., and Jacob S. Suissa, Ph.D., who are co-founders of Let's Botanize®—an educational non-profit promoting the hobby of botanizing by spreading curiosity, knowledge, and appreciation of plants through accessible, engaging content.

Learn about their philosophy of democratizing the study of plant biology as they share insights into their new book—Let's Botanize! 101 Ways to Connect with Plants-a helpful guide that aims to provide an entry point into botanizing through a collection of prompts that implore careful observation of plants.

Copies of Let's Botanize! will be available for purchase and signing.
