A Beautiful Day
in the NEIGHBORHOOD
Saturday, June 27, 10a-4p
Celebrating all the ways we grow together, and Botany’s 5th Anniversary.
Happy Plant Pride season, everyone.
We look forward to this day all year, a day when we invite our entire community to “the Botany block” for a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
Part block party, part maker market, part garden party, and 100% good vibes.
From the beginning, Plant Pride has celebrated not only the anniversary of The Botany Shop opening at 909 Portage Avenue back in 2021, it’s also embraced all the ways we grow together.
We’re living through a moment in history when community is more vital than ever, and as a local & independent business, I believe we have a duty and responsibility to actively cultivate community, right here, in this place we call home along with you.
This year’s plant pride is particularly special because we’re also celebrating 5 years in this place. Time flies when you’re having fun.
As always, it takes a village, and I remain grateful you’re ours.
I can’t wait to welcome you.

Botany & Co. Farmer & Founder
Plan Your Visit
Plant Pride is a neighborhood block party and maker market: admission and parking is free. Please be mindful of our neighbors when parking and do not block driveways or alleys.
Plant Pride Style
From face painting to hair tinsel, our vendors will help you celebrate the day in peak summer style. We love seeing the outfits you curate every year to mark the day.
All Are Welcome
Well-behaved, on-leash dogs are welcome… nay, encouraged, to join in the fun. We’ll have water bowls around the block and biscuits inside The Shop.
If you don’t let us pet them, we’ll be very upset.
Let’s Get Ready to Party!
