Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Summer Solstice Plant Market and Father's Day Weekend celebration! The longest day of the year could not have been more beautiful, and it was wonderful to spend it surrounded by plants, sunshine, familiar friends, and new visitors discovering the nursery for the first time.

Our PeopleCats were hard at work all day - greeting guests, inspecting shopping carts, supervising plant selections, and making sure everyone felt welcome. The garden was full of smiles, conversations, tropical color, and the relaxed summer atmosphere that makes this event one of our favorites each year.

If you see yourself, your family, or your friends in these photos, feel free to save them and share the memories. We hope the plants you brought home thrive and bring you years of enjoyment. Thank you for spending part of your Father's Day weekend with us, and thank you for supporting our little tropical paradise. We look forward to seeing you again at the next Plant Market. Happy summer and happy growing! 🌴☀️🌺
