Holiday Plant Market Event Mementos
Thank you to everyone who came out for our Holiday Plant Market!
Our PeopleCats took their jobs very seriously, trotting ahead of guests, inspecting carts, and making sure no one left without the perfect plant. The whole place buzzed with good moods, warm weather, and that fun holiday energy only a tropical garden can create.
If you see yourself or your friends on the photos, save or forward to share the memories!
Check out more pictures of the Event
It was a joy watching the garden fill up with familiar friends and first-time visitors all exploring, chatting, and discovering new favorites.
If you spot yourself or someone you know in the photos, go ahead and save them or pass them along. We hope your new plants settle in beautifully, and we look forward to seeing you back in the garden soon. Happy holidays and happy growing!
