This weekend promises boffo botanicals at a plant-packed mega-expo featuring growers from all over the world. Green thumbs and newbies alike can shop a panoply of popular, exotic, and even rare flora, with a special early-shopping hour offered to those who snag VIP tix. There’ll also be plant-related crafts, opportunities to network with other plant-enjoyers, and educational sessions on subjects like styling houseplants, pest identification and management, tissue culture acclimation, and more. Don’t stay rooted at home! Re-pot yourself in fresh social soil with other nature nerds. – James Scott
