Plant Health Week
National Plant Health Week is an annual designated week of action to raise public awareness and engagement on how to keep our plants healthy.
It is a collaborative effort by over 30 organisations across the UK who are committed to protecting the health of the UK’s plants and trees. The week also incorporates the United Nations International Day of Plant Health.
As a signatory of the Plant Health Accord, Action Oak recognises the enormous value to society, human health and the environment of healthy plants and trees, that these values are threatened, and that action is required to protect them.
This year, Action Oak is supporting Plant Health Week from 6 - 12 May 2024.

International Day of Plant Health, 12 May
The United Nations designated 12 May the International Day of Plant Health (IDPH) to raise global awareness on how protecting plant health can help end hunger, reduce poverty, protect biodiversity and the environment, and boost economic development.
The Day is a key legacy of the International Year of Plant Health 2020.
