To expand her collection without spending too much, she turned to plant trading, finding it an ideal alternative to the high prices at garden centers.
Leslie shows us her favorite plants, including an Alocasia ‘Calathea’ and an Anthurium clarinervium, which she admires for their unique beauty.
She also tells us about the "Plant Trading" event, an opportunity she uses to exchange rare varieties and meet other enthusiasts.
Her passion is inspiring and reminds us of the beauty that plants bring to our daily lives. Watch all of this in the first episode.
Second Episode: How Leslie Discovered the Plant Swap Event by Meet for Branch
In our interview, we explored how Leslie discovered the the plant trading event at Le Vestiaire.
She learned about the event from a flyer distributed in Roubaix for the Marché de Printemps.
She came during the plant swap event at the Vestiaire, where she met the Meet for Branch team.
We asked this plant addict what she thought of an app dedicated to plant swapping.
She found the idea fantastic, appreciating the ability to consult advice and see other enthusiasts swap their plants through a mobile app.
For Leslie, this technology would facilitate exchanges and encourage a community of plant addicts to share their knowledge and plants easily.
Leslie encourages beginners to persevere, assuring them that they will find support in the community.
She reminds enthusiasts to continue living their passion intensely by actively participating in events like plant trading and staying curious to discover new species.
Her enthusiasm is contagious, and we wish her much success in her future exchanges. May her love for plants continue to flourish and inspire other plant addicts around the world.
