Memberships are the lifeblood of United Plant Savers, making up about 30% of our nonprofit’s annual operating revenue. When you become a member, you join our community of thousands of members who support our mission to protect at-risk medicinal plants and fungi. Plus, you get sweet perks reserved for members only!
We try to keep memberships affordable, and in March they’re even more so. Save $5 off any membership with code MARCH2024 at checkout. That makes an individual membership just $30 this year, our 30th anniversary! And, when you join this month, you’ll also get a $75 gift card to use towards classes in the International Herb Symposium’s Learning Center.

United Plant Savers is a group of plant enthusiasts committed to raising public awareness of the plight of our wild medicinal plants and to protecting these plants through organic cultivation, sustainable agricultural practices, and the replanting of native medicinal species back into their natural habitats. Our goal is to ensure that these valuable medicinal plants will be preserved for our grandchildren and our grandchildren’s grandchildren.
Our membership reflects the great diversity of American herbalism and includes wildcrafters, seed collectors, manufacturers, growers, botanists, researchers, practitioners, medicine makers, educators and plant lovers from all walks of life. We are grateful for your support of our mission to Plant the Future!
