  • Thank you to everyone who came out for our Holiday Plant Market!
  • It was a joy watching the garden fill up with familiar friends and first-time visitors all exploring, chatting, and discovering new favorites.
  • 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!
  • 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!

Happy March 1st! 🌷 First Spring Grass vs. Hungry Cats!
  • 🌿 The first blades of spring grass are here, and the PeopleCats have officially lost their minds.
  • It’s a "Grass Party" with zero manners and maximum competition.

Oct 29: National Cat Day (USA)
Feb 17: World Cat Day (Europe)
Aug 8: International Cat Day
March 17: St. Gertrude’s Day (Patron Saint of Cats and Gardeners)

May your yard be green and your cats stay mildly civilized!
