The Ten Plant Clans use qualities found in plants as a starting point for conversations about leadership, character and the different ways people contribute to a group.

Different strengths have different value

Some plants survive harsh conditions, some heal, some feed, some attract attention and others support the wider ecosystem quietly. The clans use those differences to show that a healthy team or community does not depend on everyone behaving in the same way.

Reflection rather than labels

The exercise is not meant to place people permanently into categories. It gives learners a memorable language for discussing strengths such as resilience, usefulness, cooperation, adaptability and service.
