The motion

That the Parliament welcomes Aberdeen Fascination of Plants Day on 18 May 2024; notes that Fascination of Plants Day is a global event highlighting the important role that plants play in society, and encouraging people to give more recognition to the impact that plants have on our lives and wider environment, with organisations from 56 countries taking part; understands that events celebrating the day will take place from 16 to 19 May at venues across Aberdeen, including Duthie Park, University of Aberdeen's Zoology building, and Cruickshank Botanic Garden, with events organised by University of Aberdeen, Robert Gordon University, Friends of the Cruickshank Garden, Duthie Park Ranger Service, Scotland's Rural College (SRUC) and James Hutton Institute; believes that the activities, ranging from plant sales to workshops exploring the impact of plants on people's senses, can help educate people more on the importance of plants and plant science; congratulates the event coordinator, Dr Morag McFadyen of Robert Gordon University, on pulling together an informative and exciting programme of events, and hopes that they are a huge success in teaching people more about plants.
