At The BIG Plant Expo, we believe plants have the power to inspire, educate, and strengthen communities.

That's why $1 from every paid ticket sold is invested directly back into our community through The BIG Plant Expo Education & Growth Fund.

Through this initiative, Expo attendees help support plant education, student achievement, and the future of the horticulture industry.

Every ticket purchased helps make a lasting impact.
