Andrea Wong joins the webz!
“Here you can buy and sell plants with a history; second-hand plants that need a new home or third-generation cuttings with an old family-tree. Instead of throwing an old and tired plant in the bin you can come to us and we will try to find it a new home. This website is about the stories plants can tell us, how they have followed us through our lives and experienced good and bad times. We usually don´t see them as valuable but some have been in families for generations and have been passed on like family treasures. This project aims to give the plants some deserved recognition. Our plant´s journeys will be traced and written down for you to view on this website. By doing this we aim to create a library of plant stories.”

It’s $24.95 for 20 stamps. Whoaaa. So many possibilities!
