Plant Show Contest
Bring something from home to show off in our cacti and succulent plant contest. The prizes will definitely be amazing…or ridiculous, maybe even amazingly ridiculous. The judges will have an astonishing wealth of cacti knowledge…or they might just think cacti are fun. Either way, we just want to see some of your favorites. And who knows, you might even win something.
Contest Rules
- An entry may be a single specimen or a combination of plants in a single container or arrangement
- Judging criteria will be left to each judge, with their interior dialogue revolving around the following:
- degree of strangeness
- overall plant health
- #plantvibes
- level of induced plant envy
- Registration is 9am to 10am, and plants can be retrieved at 2:00pm
- As much as we may love your plants, we aren’t responsible for their well-being while they’re here
Prizes
