All About No Plant Left Behind
Our Roots
Originally founded in 2020, No Plant Left Behind was dedicated to being a zero-waste plant company. We aimed to provide sustainable houseplants with minimal environmental impact.
In 2023 this was changed into a Charity Status. Amy Alexandra Marsden, a top-trained landscape architect, realized the potential of combining design with sustainability. Driven by a passion for education and community involvement, she launched the new and improved No Plants Left Behind. In just six months, Amy grew the charity into a volunteer group of 12 individuals united by a common goal: teaching and inspiring sustainable living.
