From August 31-September 1, Marriott Dallas Allen Hotel & Convention Center will transform into the ultimate experience for plant enthusiasts of all kinds!
“We’re thrilled to bring PlantCon to Allen, with a brand new dimension to the experience that includes reptiles, amphibians, aquatic life, and more! The unbelievable support we’ve received over the past two years has made this possible, and we can't wait to share this expanded event with our community and visitors from around the world.”
- Kenny Nguyen, Founder of PlantCon
Over the course of the two day event, check out the 150 vendor plant and reptile market including Airheads Air Plants from right here in Texas, Anavrin Botanicals from Florida and Ecuagenera from Ecuador. Go on the hunt for your favorite local plants as well as amazing tropical, perennial and carnivorous plants from around the world! Also added to the Dallas show will be a brand-new dimension to the experience that includes reptiles, amphibians, aquatic life, and more. Don’t forget to sign up in the morning for seminars and workshops from field experts, and exhibitions from the plant world’s leading brands! As a bonus there will also be a Kid Zone! Visit children’s author Kimberly CC to learn about her plant book series, work on coloring sheets, get plant stickers and more!
When you want a break throughout the day, feel free to walk steps away from the Convention Center over to Watters Creek Village, where you can shop amazing Labor Day Weekend sales, refuel with a coffee and patio time at Frogg Coffee Bar & Crêperie, treat yourself to a facial at Merum Face Bar, and enjoy the free Creekside Live concert series on Saturday evening.
So, grab your tickets and book your room; a weekend of plants and relaxation awaits!
