About this Event
GROW Expo 2026
Plants. People. Purpose.
GROW Expo is more than a plant show—it’s a two-day celebration of plants, creativity, education, and community coming to Houston October 17–18, 2026.
Created by GROW by Rooted Treasures, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, GROW Expo brings plant lovers, collectors, families, makers, and curious beginners together for an immersive weekend where shopping and discovery also support a greater purpose.
