Equitable Giving Circle is a local nonprofit organization committed to increasing equity within Portland’s BIPOC communities through peer-led organizing and network building. In 2021, they started the Plants + Wellness Program : This link will open in a new tab.inspired by the Underground Plant Exchange. Since there are so many perks to having plants in your space, including healing and therapeutic benefits, the program encourages people to donate houseplants that will be gifted to BIPOC in our community. It’s an easy way to spread joy and comfort around our city, especially in our underserved communities.

 

We are proud to be active supporters of the EGC’s Plants + Wellness Program, and have donated hundreds of houseplants to the cause over the years. We love that they also encourage the community to make plant donations through from BIPOC-owned plant shops in the area, strengthening community ties with businesses like ours!

 

Making a donation is easy! When you visit us in-store, let our associate know at the register that you would like to donate. You can select what size plant(s) you would like to donate. The associate will ring up your donation. If you are shopping online, you can add it to your order HERE.  At the end of each month, ECOVIBE matches the total donation amount to donate more plants to our community. From there, ECOVIBE coordinates the donation with the team at EGC.
