Who we are
The BIG Plant Expo is a two-day rare plant event held annually in Charleston, South Carolina, bringing together plant collectors, growers, vendors, educators, and plant lovers from across the country and beyond.
Designed as more than just a market, The BIG Plant Expo combines rare plant shopping, hands-on workshops, educational talks, and immersive experiences into one unforgettable event. From first-time plant parents to seasoned collectors, our goal is to create a welcoming, inspiring space where the plant community can connect, learn, and grow.
