Happy Thursday,
All my friends know I am a huge plant enthusiast. From ZZ, pothos, snake, Chinese money, dumb cane and cacti, I’ve got it all placed throughout my home. So I’m always on the lookout for more to add to the collection.
If you’re also looking to grow your green thumb, shop for plants and other home goods at the three-day return of the Fort Worth Fall Home & Garden Show. Find out more below.
Also, there’s a new joint exhibition on view bringing together two of Fort Worth’s more experimental art galleries: Giant Runt and Easyside. I spoke with Giant Runt founders Cosmo Jones and Max Marshall earlier this year about their focus on art outside “the general Fort Worth norm.”
