The initiative was born out of the "A Plant In Your Space" campaign, a heartfelt social media project launched in December 2022. The founder’s passion for sustainability is deeply rooted in her personal experience with adult-onset asthma and chronic allergies. Facing these challenges allowed her to discover the remarkable healing properties of plants, inspiring the creation of "A Plant In Your Space."What started as a journey toward personal wellness has blossomed into a mission to highlight the valuable environmental and health benefits of ornamental plants. These plants are often overlooked in favor of food crops, despite their incredible potential. Ivy understands the difficulty in changing long-standing beliefs about ornamental plants, and she is dedicated to educating the public about their crucial contributions to air purification, toxin reduction, and soil enhancement. Through her efforts, she aims to emphasize that these plants are not just beautiful additions to our spaces; they are essential players in fostering sustainable agricultural ecosystems.
