Best Plant Shops in the Netherlands — Plant One On Me — Ep 066

Earlier this year I headed to the Netherlands and managed to go to a few of the main cities there to check out the plant scene. After doing a “Best Plant Shops in Williamsburg, Brooklyn” episode (see Ep 037 here:    • Best Plant Shops in Williamsburg, Bro...  , I figured I’d put together a “Best Plant Shops in the Netherlands” (even though I could have admittedly gone city-by-city there and done an episode in each town). Time, however, was not on my side and there was much to see and do!

I should say that I bought a bunch of plants from the Netherlands and now I’m just waiting on the exporter to export them. I don’t know why he’s slow on the trigger, but I’m about to put in another call to remind him to send my verdant treasure! (Luckily I have someone taking care of the plants until that time). Just FYI: It’s challenging to bring plants back from other countries, because you need an import permit and phytosanitary certificates, and time and patience, so brace yourself! (I smell a new episode brewing perhaps!!) I suppose, however, if you want to play it safe, you may only want to purchase planters and other gardening accessories when visiting other countries.
