Native Plant Expo & Marketplace - Sponsorships

This surge in interest has been phenomenal. From humble beginnings with around 1,000 attendees in 2019 and only hundreds in 2021 (due to COVID-19 limitations), we've now reached approx. 2,500 attendees the last two years.

Furthermore, our online engagement has been on the rise. Our event webpage became the second most visited page on our website, just behind our homepage, marking a significant increase from previous years. With our dedicated team and strong partner support, we're excited to share our plans to further scale up and enhance the event onwards.
