'Consumers dictate the price. If no one buys at those prices, then they would go down.'
It’s never fun to have something you nurtured and raised for years be stolen from you. It takes sun, water and a lot of love from its owners for plants to grow. That’s why the plantitas do not mince words when they share their thoughts on plant thieves.I started growing plants 11 years ago. No Instagram or social media then, except for Myspace. I grew up around the garden of my grandparents.
I’ve been part of a plant community for more than a decade. I know a lot of nurseries, gardens and farms here. But this is the only time I’ve encountered exaggerated prices. Stealing is obviously wrong! I put in effort and time in taking care of my plants so I’d feel really bad if someone steals them. Poaching plants in their natural habitat is also wrong, even if people say they’re just trying to make a living.
