Fascination of Plants Day 2026

Every year on 18 May, people, schools, botanical gardens, researchers, and organisations worldwide host events to showcase the beauty, importance, and wonder of plants.

Celebrate Fascination of Plants Day 2026 with PRO‑WILD!

Have you heard of Fascination of Plants Day (FoPD)? Every year on 18 May, people, schools, botanical gardens, researchers, and organisations worldwide host events to showcase the beauty, importance, and wonder of plants. From tiny seedlings to mighty forests, plants feed us, clean our air, provide materials, support biodiversity, and are essential for a sustainable future.

PRO‑WILD encourages everyone to get involved! Organise your own event — it could be a workshop, planting session, public talk, or a community gathering to explore local flora. You might even stumble across some crop wild relatives along the way!

By taking part, you'll help raise awareness about our green planet and inspire others with the fascinating world of plants.

Get started: Visit plantday18may.org and contact your national coordinators. They'll provide guidance and resources to make your event a success.

Let's plant seeds of curiosity, knowledge, and change together!
