About us
Our mission is to mobilize the San Diego community toward a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle. We aim to be a source of support, information, encouragement, and action to those pursuing a healthier life through diet.
Through providing local social and educational activities, we create a space for any vegan, vegetarian, or veg-curious person to learn and experience the benefits of a plant-based lifestyle to human health, reduced environmental impact, and avoiding harm to animals.
PlantDiego is a fiscally sponsored project of Social Good Fund, a California nonprofit corporation and registered 501(c)(3) organization.

We schedule events to simply get together to learn, eat, and socialize. Please join this meet up if you want to learn about being part of the team and/or just coming to our fun events! To get in on the discussion, please "like" our page on Facebook, PlantDiego.
PlantDiego plans large community events (like our Gratitude Food Fest just before Thanksgiving) and screenings of documentaries- PlantPure Nation, Cowspiracy, Forks over Knives for example), presentations by local experts, fundraisers, regular PlantDiego fun events (potlucks, meetings, visits to vegan restaurants, picnics, beach days), and community activism to get the word out about healthy plant-based diets.
PlantDiego is part of the national Building Healthy Communities network (by PCRM), inspired in 2015 by the film PlantPure Nation - a ground breaking film and nationwide organization about the power of plant-based eating and the politics we struggle against to get the word out about the dire need to change our food system!
Regular events/potlucks will occur roughly every month. Please bring a Whole Food Plant Based (no animal products, oil or processed products) dish, serving utensils and your own plate, bowl and utensils. Also bring something to drink if you like, as we usually don't provide beverages. Please being at least $1 per event towards meet up fees and other expenses (like our meetup fees!). We also need contributions to keep this organization going! Thanks!
Everyone is welcome here, regardless of race, gender, nationality, sexual orientation or background. Abusive language will not be tolerated. Our gatherings are always respectful of everyone.
**Please visit our website and scroll down to signup to receive our monthly informative newsletter with a listing of our events, a monthly recipe and yep, even a Vegan Dad Joke! Questions? Please e-mail us at plantdiego@gmail.com.**
We are an active group! We hope to see you soon!

The Purple Mint Vegan Restaurant San Diego brings healthy eating and traditional culture to a crossroads. Purple Mint restaurant serves vegan dishes fused with classical recipes that present an unparalleled twist on authentic Asian cuisine.
Purple Mint is a small family-owned restaurant that molds the menu to reflect healthy eating, healthy living, and to promote a vegan lifestyle. The restaurant offers a diverse menu ranging from varied beverages and savory entrées to sweet desserts baked fresh daily. Each entrée is made from all-natural, fresh ingredients that yield overall excellence in food quality.
These Asian inspired cuisines look similar to their non-vegan counterparts allowing for a healthy, meatless meal without sacrificing much of the taste. All of the fusion styles inspired entrées, dishes, and recipes are ultimately created and served with the diner's health and body in mind.
This is great opportunity to connect with other like-minded folks, and be sure to bring your friends, but do keep your RSVP up-to-date so we'll know how many seats to set aside and what to tell the restaurant.
PARKING: They have a small lot out front, but some people have found it best to park elsewhere since the lot is very busy. We tried to pick a not as busy time, but you never know.
