March 26 @ 7pm In-Person: Darryl Cheng, “An Engineer’s Approach to House Plants”

Join us in welcoming Darryl Cheng to our stage on March 26th. Darryl will be speaking to us about “House Plants” from a science-backed approach.

Darryl Cheng is the author of ‘The New Plant Parent’ and ‘The New Plant Collector’ and creator of House Plant Journal. Darryl’s passion for plants and engineering approach to plant care have turned him into one of the most trusted houseplant resources on the internet! What was initially a hobby Tumblr page has turned into an Instagram account with over half a million followers, a go-to website for anything houseplant related, his very own houseplant care book, and plant time-lapse videos that have gone viral around the world.

If you follow traditional houseplant advice, you’ll be left with disappointment because your plant is no longer “perfect”. Darryl’s approach breaks down the barriers to true, long-lasting enjoyment of houseplants – when you understand how plants work, you can gain a deeper appreciation for their character and more acceptance of how they’ll grow. It’s a healthy dose of practical science and realistic expectations!
