We are flipping the script on the traditional plant swap. Tropicals After Dark is a botanical mixer and night market designed for the sophisticated enthusiast. No early alarms and no frantic lines. Just a relaxed evening of high-quality plants, good food, and great conversation.

We are taking over the private event wing at Triple Crossing - Fulton and splitting the experience into two distinct zones:

• The Night Market (Main Hall): Shop a hand-picked selection of our best local vendors. We have curated a mix of rare tropicals, supplies, and collector favorites. This is also where you will find the Free Plant Drop. Bring a pest-free plant to share and take a new one home.

• The Botanical Mixer (Barrel Room): We have transformed the Barrel Room into a German-style beer hall lounge. Order dinner, grab a Falcon Smash, and settle in with friends. This is your "home base" to hang out, eat, and talk plants in a comfortable, social setting.

The Activity: Macro ID Scavenger Hunt Put your plant knowledge to the test while you mingle. We have hidden extreme close-up photos of popular houseplants throughout the venue, including on walls, near vendor tables, and in hidden corners.

• The Mission: Find the clues, identify the plant from the macro shot, and complete your game card.

• The Prizes: We are competing for a $30 Triple Crossing Gift Card (1st Place) and a $15 Gift Card plus serious bragging rights (2nd Place).

The "Pocket Swap" Rule To keep the "Mixer" vibe open and spacious, this is a Pocket Swap Only event.

• YES: Bring cuttings or small plants in a bag or box that you can carry personally.

• NO: No wagons, no carts, and no table setups for attendees.

• Why? We want you mobile, mingling, and enjoying the venue without dodging traffic jams.
