Summary

I recently visited the Netherlands as a guest of The Joy of Plants; last week’s episode covered my trip to the Flora Holland show, and this week I’m talking about the plants I saw at the three nurseries we visited the following day - Amstel BV, Ubink and Vireo.

James Wong was there too so we got to geek out over houseplants together - fun!

Hello Plant fans, it's on The Ledge podcast and I'm Jane Perrone coming at you with my brand new logo.

0:30.1

Yes, I hope you can see it on your pod app of choice now. My new logo in all. It's glory designed by Jacqueline Colley. Thanks so much to Jacqueline,

0:39.9

who did a fantastic work at embodying the essence of On the Ledge. If you go and check out my

0:46.6

Instagram at j.l.perone, you'll see the black and white version, which I'm using as the main

0:51.7

podcast logo, but there's also a version in two

0:55.3

different shades of green, which is rather striking too, which I'll also be keeping on hand

1:00.7

for various other projects. Do let me know which one you prefer. The logo features three plants,

1:07.1

Montre deliciosa, Sanseveria Cilindrica, and begonia maculata-YTI, three of my favourite house

plants. Obviously, there were so many more that we could have included, but you can't have them all.

helped me to streamline the design and get one that really worked.

2:13.0

And then I'll be bringing you some more insights from my Dutch trip.

2:17.4

We'll be finding out why it's

2:19.2

the Koreans who are the best at cactus grafting and why smaller is better when it comes to

2:26.4
