There is a new campaign taking place in the UK called PlantforLife. This initiative is spearheaded by the Horticultural Trades Association (HTA) and is aimed at raising the awareness of plants and the role that they can play in enhancing people's quality of life. PlantforLife is also supported by the Horticultural Development Council and the European Union. Research has shown that having regular exposure to plants and green spaces can radically reduce your stress levels and put you in a better mood! And having more plants in the home, school and workplace will bring all kinds of environmental, health and morale boosting benefits.

Does anyone know if there is any equivalent type of campaign in North America? Are any UK people aware of it. It makes a lot of sense imho and is a great initiative. What I'd like to know is whether ordinary plant enthusiasts and the general public are aware of it?
