What a great story!
I think plant afficionados in.all categories and on all levels can relate to it! He grows a few plants from my region and I know them so that's pretty cool too!

I would so love to visit his greenhouses, it just shows how passion and dedication can really change the world. Imagine nettingvthat much$$$ for a no profit botanic organisation just by donating one plant!

Really inspiring story.
