Overview

Mission

With Heart organizes community events centered on highlighting horticulture, gardening, and environmental sustainability and conservancy education, as well as providing opportunities for growth for small businesses. Our mission is to increase horticultural education, appreciation, and accessibility for all, but especially the new generation of plant enthusiasts, so that the industry can continue to thrive for generations.

What it reported doing in 2023

PlantCon is a convention and expo that takes Houston Plant Market to the next level and extends our reach globally. Over 2,500 people attended, over 60 small businesses vended, and 20 educational seminars and workshops were hosted free of charge. Many attendees travelled nationally or internationally to attend, helping to bridge and connect the broader horticultural community. PlantCon brings plants and horticultural education to the mass public, drawing in brand new plant parents and increasing their appreciation for and knowledge about horticulture. PlantCon's mass reach means that we can find and attract individuals who otherwise do not have a local community or connections to share in their hobby. We have attendees that tell us they met their best friends at PlantCon because they were able to find people to bond with over plants and horticulture. PlantCon also encourages and highlights the efforts of plant growers by hosting a Plant Competition where unique and rare specimens are placed on display for the public to view. Plant growers that vend at PlantCon are able to sustain their growing operations with the revenue they gain from selling their plants at PlantCon. Plants that come directly from growers are typically not found in stores and are not available for in-person purchase anywhere else other than at PlantCon.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filed totals do not add up.
