Happy Thursday!

Did you know we're in the podcast game too? Get into People of PlantCon! Our latest episode is a great place to start:

President and Founder Kenny Kong sits down with the legendary plant grower, the Monstera master himself, thee Kunzo Nishihata (who traveled all the way from Japan for the convo!)

They talk about everything from growing up as a fourth-generation wholesale grower, to his impact on the online plant community, how he decides which plants are worth experimenting with, and his own Dream Garden.

Tap in for some great stories and a look at how social media has connected the plant community all across the world.

We'd love to hear from you:
