it's astonishing what this man knows about plants. And the respect and love and tenderness in the way he talks about these plants, and touches them. And the plants all look so perfect, so undamaged by insects, like if they all were planted just before the video was taken. And very beautiful landscape designed (or how to call it). By far the most beautiful garden I saw so far.

This is so gorgeous. He reminds me of my 'grandpa'. We're not related by blood, but he was a close family friend with the sweetest soul ever. When I visited his home in Japan at 10 years old, he showed me this tranquil little greenhouse he and his wife set up when they first got married. It immediately felt like home. It was filled in every corner with all sorts of tropical plants you could find in Southeast Asia, hanging plants scraping my face gently as I walked through exploring every interesting leaf I could find. He broke off a leaf from his alocasia and gave it to me to press in a book. A month after we got home, we were informed that he passed away after an accident while climbing the Japanese Alps. I don't exactly remember how I reacted since then, but I found that leaf, beautifully preserved, three years ago today. I've been collecting plants since then. As an under-20 year old plant lady from the Philippines, this is my dream. To curate a beautiful greenhouse, protecting endemic and rare flora and fauna and spend most of my life exploring and educating others about the importance of preserving forests in the country. Right now I'm working towards a degree in social studies as a compromise with my parents, but hopefully I get to use this as a tool to start advocacy work with the people who have just as much passion for plants and nature. I always get told I'm such a 'grandma' for having so many plants, but I like to think it has made me a better person, much like all of the other plant folks here 😊 getting an alocasia sanderiana in a few days, maybe I'll name him after my ojiisan?

You provide for many of us a window into a world we would otherwise never get to see, as people who love plants and have them in our homes, but don’t necessarily have a profession in botany/horticulture and access to these networks. A private tour of such a fantastic place, alongside a true expert whom I would otherwise never get a chance to hear from. It’s just magical. 🙏 💗
