We’re thrilled to bring PlantCon to Orlando for the first time,” said Kenny Nguyen, founder of PlantCon International. “This expansion is testament to the incredible support we’ve received over the past two years. Florida’s plant community is truly inspiring, and we’re excited to celebrate and contribute to the passion for plants. We can’t wait to share PlantCon with local plant enthusiasts and visitors from around the world!”
