A Look Back: Our 2024 Home and Garden Show Debut

Last year marked our first-ever appearance at the Minneapolis Home and Garden Show, and it was an unforgettable week! With gratitude, we took home the Larry Hickman Rookie of the Year Award for Best First-Year Booth. The centerpiece of our display was the construction and installation of two stunning 20' by 10' plant walls, showcasing over 1,000 plants. One wall dazzled visitors with rare and valuable collector plants worth an impressive $20,000, while the other offered a diverse selection of houseplants to inspire attendees and help them envision which plants might thrive in their own homes. It was a joy to share this extraordinary display with our community.

We also distributed 10,000 postcards to eager plant enthusiasts, spreading the word about our mission to bring greenery into everyone’s lives. The buzz didn’t stop there—we were even featured on local news channels like KSTP Twin Cities Live and Garden Guy Dale K’s segment, bringing our vision to a broader audience. You can catch the highlights of these interviews here and here.
