Creating A More Compassionate World Through Propagating And Sharing Plants
An idea born during the 2020 COVID Pandemic, Plantcestry was conceived to help us connect with others, experience a sense of renewal, and feel the joy of being part of a growing community across the country. Intentionally designed so that anyone can participate through free membership, the idea is simple. Participants gift plants to others and witness their plants spread and grow through sharing them with friends and loved ones.
How your generous gift will be invested:
Your contribution will provide funding to create the official Plantcestry website and member platform which will provide a space for members to track their own and shared plants, connect with other participants, and watch their plant lines grow.
Through the member platform, all who receive a shared plant from an existing member will be able to create a free membership account. Other memberships will also be available for paying members to create their own Plant Lines and share them with others.
The first phase of the project is complete. The remaining two phases will implement in as follows, depending upon the level of support:
$9,000+ raised:
Startup fees including legal fees, improved member website design and development
A Plantcestry membership platform which may include:
- membership management
- member communications tools
- plant inventory and gift membership tracking and the ability to invite others to join through propagation gifting
- information about plant sharing, growing tips, and other resources from those in the Plantcestry community
$15,000 + raised:
- real-time integrated Plantcestry Map with plant inventory and Plant Line tracking capability and filtering
- enhanced reporting and tracking of Plant Lines
Example of what the future Plantcestry Map may look like:
Zoomed View tracking one plant line
MISSION

- encouraging and supporting the sharing (not selling) of plants with friends and loved ones
