Passion for plants 25 - Paul Shirley

06 April 2019
Every year at the International Nursery Days Bingerden we interview participants and ask them why they've become plantsman or -woman. This time Paul Shirley with a passion for succulents. 
 
Paul: ‘The more special, the better. Because of plants I came to the Netherlands. When I'm on holiday I look for plants, and animals and insects. It's an hobby, and the hobby has grown. At a certain point a needed a glass house.
I used to go to Succulent shows, but they practically dissapeared. But to continue with the plant shows, I had to find plants. So I started looking for really special plants. I can continue with my hobby, that's what matters’.
