Happy New Year!

2022 has finally arrived and there are lots of
new an interesting interior landscaping in-
dustry related. A fantastic announcement
from Green Plants for Green Buildings
(GPGB) President, Mike Senneff regarding
the formation of GPGB’s new endowment
fund named the Interior Initiative Growth
Fund (IIGF).
This new endowment fund is managed by
the National Horticulture Foundation (NHF)
and is to be used to help guide our indus-
try into the future. The creation of the new
endowment fund will help create continued
support for education, research and mar-
keting initiatives related to the interior land-
scaping industry.

We at I-Plants Magazine are very proud to
partner with FNGLA, NHF & GPGB to bring
the International Plantscape Awards and
Hall of Fame to TPIE in Tampa, Florida this
January. The proceeds raised for the 2022
Awards Gala will go to support the IIGF fund
which will create long term sustainability for
the industry.

I hope as many of you as possible help to
support this new initiative and help build a
sustainable industry for the future.
