Plants of Care, plant recognition program – 

Whether  experienced landscape professionals or novice homeowners, the goal of the Plants of CARE program is to challenge all to not simple identify plants which survive but thrive; and then, create landscapes from an eco-sustainable point of view, seek to reduce carbon footprints as well as feed families pesticide free produce. For, any style landscape should not simply reflect traditional design concepts but be a result of the right plant, installed in the right place at the right (optimal) planting season - creating a legacy of green, healthier urban/suburban communities. The challenge for 21^st century landscape gardeners is to create landscapes from a “waste not, and want not” eco logical commitment: become caretakers for the environmental community.” 

To encourage all to ‘dig in the dirt’, a ‘plants of care’ plant is recognized quarterly.
