Plot twist: if you’re a plant person, you’re already one of the cool kids. PERIOD🌿😂

I look through photos from these markets and see vendors, collectors, volunteers, old friends, new friends, and people I met for the first time that day.

And that’s what I love about the plant community.

Your “cool kids” don’t have to be some group you’re looking at from across the room. They’re the people standing next to you talking about plants, soil mixes, fertilizers, pollination, the plant you’ve been hunting for forever… all the wonderfully nerdy things plant people somehow turn into a 45-minute conversation. 😂

Stop looking across and look right next to you.

You don’t have to know anybody before coming to a D’Vine Market. Come by yourself. Come with your plant bestie. Talk to a vendor. Ask somebody what plant they’re holding. Start talking to the person standing beside you in the greenhouse. You’ll probably leave having met somebody new.

That has always been the kind of space I want D’Vine Market to be.

Plants bring some really cool-ass people together. 💚

And a special thank you to the vendors, collectors, friends and volunteers pictured here who helped make Tropical Plant Fest what it was.

Next up: California 🌴
The Jungle Plant Pop-Up
📍 Rainforest Flora — Torrance, CA

Come hang out with the cool kids. AKA all of us. 🌿

Thank you to the Agri-Starts team for having us! ✨🫶🏽

Day 2 of the IAS Tropical Plant Expo 🌿

What a way to close out an incredible and FUN weekend!

I talked plants, met so many wonderful people, caught up with old friends, made some new ones, and got to spend days surrounded by the best people!

I also got the opportunity to present: “From the Rainforest Floor to Your Living Room Shelf,” at the Expo.

Thank you to everyone who came to my presentation, stopped me to say hello, shared a story, took a photo, or simply made me feel welcome.

I’m leaving Miami tired, grateful, inspired…and already looking forward to next year! 🤗🌿❤️

I love supporting the @internationalaroidsociety by attending their annual dinner not only is it a great way to financially support this nonprofit organization, but the entire evening is such a fun experience. 🌿

You’ll spend the night connecting with some incredible plant collectors and growers in a super-casual atmosphere filled with jokes, laughter, and amazing plant-themed food.

And we can’t forget the highlight of the night: the live plant auction! Last year, I walked away with some crazy deals on variegated Alocasias. 👀

Seats are limited and this dinner does sell out, so visit aroid.org and grab your ticket!
