INDIANAPOLIS — A free all-day event at the Circle City Industrial Complex later this month is celebrating Indy's green thumbs with plant swaps, a plant pageant, live music, food, and over 50 related vendors.
"It kind of came up as something like, 'why don't we have a plant show?'" Hamilton told WRTV during an interview at Stomping Grounds on the near east side of Indianapolis."We're just basically taking the idea and running with it."Neither Hamilton nor Porter have been to a plant event quite like the one they've planned for Saturday, May 21.
The two are encouraging everyone wanting to attend to register ahead online so they can be better prepared to handle the line to enter. "It's just a way for people to show off their most prized plant. People take a lot of pride in making their plants look beautiful and keeping them healthy. So we just thought that this will be a really fun way for people to not only show off their most prized plant but also show off themselves a little bit too," Hamilton said.So far, ten people have signed up, but Plant Stop, Won't Stop is looking for more people to join. There are no rules when it comes to age or gender.
