About
It all started with a visit to the Montreal botanical garden where there is a marvellous specimen of a Begonia paulensis. Its incredible how many begonia species exist, and the variety of shapes, patterns, and sizes.
When I first started collecting terrarium plants, I found it extremely hard to find rare species here in Canada. There were about only 10 begonia species available here. So I started importing them, which included its share of dead-on-arrival plants and complicated paperwork, as well as misidentified plants. Trading with other collectors, local purchases and seed production are great options for sharing the species, preventing poaching in their native habitat and encouraging the growth of the knowledge about begonias in Canada.
I made my mission to produce rare begonias locally and to make these specimens available to everyone in Canada, while helping conservation in their native habitats.
I use sustainable production methods to offer you consciously grown plants for your vivarium.
