Through an agreement with Botanical Gardens Conservation International's U.S. (BGCI-US) office, they will be taking this event and developing it further. The hope is with their help Plant Conservation Day can become a widely recognized day or time of the year to celebrate the importance and diversity of roles plants play in our world and the need to work to protect and preserve them. The official date of Plant Conservation Day is May 18. This is the day of focus but if an event to celebrate plant conservation can be planned in close proximity to this date, that is great.
