Frequently Asked Questions

What can I bring?

1) Yourself. Come as you are! 🥰 Each person should register for a ticket. We kindly ask no groups larger than 4 attend so that we can maintain intentional interactions amongst new and returning friends.

2) Optionally: 1 plant to swap! These should potted and ready to be loved and cared for by another plant parent. Be sure to know what your plant type is and that they are free of pests/disease. This social mixer activity will follow similar to the rules of a White Elephant exchange.

What about COVID?

This is an indoor setting in a public space where masking is highly encouraged and vaccinations are required to protect everyone. Those who feel unwell or who have been exposed to someone who is sick should not attend with respect for the health of others. If you have a headache, sneeze, or cough – watch out as COVID symptoms can be sneaky. Free at-home COVID tests are available through the USPS. Please practice proactive habits - sneezing/coughing into elbows, washing hands frequently, and mindful awareness.

Admission includes access to our display of appetizers, 2 tacos of choice, and 2 ice pops.

Lemonade, sangria, Bold Rock ciders, and Truly hard seltzers are available for purchase (cash or Venmo accepted).

A safe and inclusive space to eat, chit-chat, and hang out! We encourage an unplugged experience and making buddies with someone new.
