In case you haven't noticed, we LOVE plants!
Plant Love Stories (PLS) began on February 14th, 2018 as a way to collect and share stories about the plants that shape our lives. To celebrate Valentine's Day and our second birthday, we commissioned original plant-y valentines, also known as #PlantHeartArt from six incredible artists. We are thrilled to share them with you today! We hope you'll share them with the ones you love - plants and people alike. For printable PDFs of all the valentines, click here!
Happy Valentine's Day from Team PLS!
