Square one of humanity starts with our relationship to plants. Plants are steppingstones toward a greater sense of sustainability, and increased exposure to plants will make us better environmental stewards of the earth. In today's fast-paced world, we must recognize our role in the larger ecosystem and seek out more experiences with nature to benefit from it. The laws of biophilia apply to everyone, and the more we can immerse ourselves in the world of plants, the more we will be inspired to protect the big plant we all live on. Nick is a “plantrepreneur” who is passionate about all things green. As a full-time plant coach, urban gardener, and landscape designer, Nick’s mission is to leave the earth greener than when he found it - giving people the knowledge and confidence they need to create their own green spaces in the pursuit of environmental action and social justice.

Nick has more than 150 clients in NYC + LA and has been featured in the NY Times, Vogue, Architectural Digest, Food Network and Business Insider. He can be seen on the Netflix original series "The Big Flower Fight” and as a host on Netflix’s "Instant Dream Home". He is also the author of Plant Coach: The Beginner’s Guide To Caring for Plants and the Planet. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
