Concerned about getting all your great plant buys back to your car? Not to worry! Scouts BSA Troop 875 and Troop 9875 will be on hand providing plant pick-up services. Just flag down one of the Scouts and they’ll take your purchases back to their Plant Pick-Up Tent so you can continue looking around. When you are ready to go, bring your car and ticket to the Plant Pick-Up Tent and they’ll load your plants into your car. We’ve been partnering with the Scouts for many years and they add a wonderful, convenient option to the Expo.
