Plant & You.png

We’re on the hunt for the perfect plant personality match! Here’s how it works:

  • Pick Your Plant – Wander the garden center and find the plant that matches your vibe, mood, or personality. (Are you bold and tropical? Calm and low-maintenance? A little spiky but lovable?)

  • Snap a Photo – Take a picture of yourself with your plant. Get creative — pose, stage a little scene, or keep it simple.

  • Tell Us Why – Write a short caption or story explaining why you chose that plant. Make it fun and heartfelt!

  • Submit Your Entry – Send your photo + caption to via the form by September 30th, 2025!

 

Surprise Gift for Best Plant Match Story!

 

Sample:

With a peace lily: “I look fine most days… until I really need a drink.”

Next to a snake plant: “I can survive anything. Even Mondays.”
