Plants and Healers International (PHI) was a non-profit organization that sprouted from the heart soil of grief over the unexpected death on August 19, 2009, of Frank Cummings Cook IV. The official organization was dissolved in 2021 but this website lives on to help preserve Frank’s legacy.
With love, faith and a determination to keep Frank’s memory and life work alive, PHI, run mostly by volunteers, has been a formal way to tend the garden that Frank left us, while continuing to plant new seeds in his honor.
We welcome your input and ask for your patience as it comes together over time. To maintain invaluable links between plants and healers, and a myriad of other related services.
