The joint initiative between InPP, the Schools and CCV Estremoz is part of the national celebrations coordinated by the ITQB NOVA, The aim is to promote a culture of knowledge about the importance of plants through the wonder that the plant world provides, whether at home, in the street, in the countryside or on the beach, in the forest, in the orchard, in the vegetable garden, in the agricultural field or in the mountains.
O Fascination of Plants Day is an initiative of the European Plant Science Organization (EPSO), which takes place every two years on May 18th. It is coordinated at national level by the Portuguese Society of Plant Physiology and ITQB NOVA, with events across the country.
