🌿 Another year of Plant Palooza is officially on the books.
Our 4th year of Plant Palooza brought new ideas, new experiences, and continued growth for this special community event. From the Explorer’s Edition experience to the Plant Bar at Plants and Things, this year carried its own unique energy and excitement. We also welcomed community moments like the Firetruck Ministries visit, were honored with a proclamation recognizing Plant Palooza, and introduced our official Explorer’s Edition master roster.
Most importantly, we are grateful.
Thank you to every vendor, participating retailer, volunteer, supporter, and visitor who came out to be part of the day. So many people worked hard behind the scenes, sacrificed time, packed up products, created displays, traveled, encouraged others, and shared their talents to help make this event happen. Your effort mattered more than you know.
A very special thank you goes to Letters From History and The Lunch Lady Food Truck and Catering for their sacrificial support this year. Your willingness to truly show up for Plant Palooza meant so much, and your support did not go unnoticed. We are deeply thankful for the care, encouragement, and effort you poured into this event.
Thank you to Bonne Terre Memorial Library for your added support for four years. It is truly appreciated.
And to everyone who explored, shopped, shared posts, brought friends, stopped by booths, picked up passports, visited destinations, and celebrated plants and creativity with us — thank you for helping Plant Palooza continue to grow year after year.
Until next time,
Plant Palooza Bonne Terre
