PLANT SHOW CONTEST

Bring something from home to show off in our cacti and succulent plant contest for the chance to win a special edition event t-shirt and one of three Mulhall’s gift cards of up to $100! Judges will include our expert growers and other plant enthusiasts from our team. But most importantly, we just want to see some of your favorite – and strangest – plants.
