The Jungle Collective Variegated Plant Party En Blanc

Overview

It has been a couple of years since The Jungle Collective first started taking over Australian warehouses and slinging plenty of plants, all thanks to its huge sales in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney. These leafy excuses to fill your home with greenery always have a bit of a celebratory vibe, so the outfit's next Victorian outing should come as no surprise — it's hosting a Plant Party En Blanc in Abbotsford.

While all of those gorgeous green babies are the main attraction — and more than 150 varieties of them, too — browsing and buying while listening to tunes and maybe having a bit of a boogie isn't something you get to do every day. And it's happening twice, across the two days of Saturday, March 2 and Sunday, March 3.

This time round, the plant focus of the sale is variegated species — those very pretty two-toned green babies that often have white and green patterns on their leaves. You'll pick up everything from fiddle leafs and monsteras to giant birds of paradise and rubber trees, as well as oh-so-many ferns and hanging plants. You'll also be able to shop for designer pots, get expert advice from the horticulturalists onsite, listen to jungle tunes and even nab a $5 discount if you show up in white (hence the 'en blanc' in the event's name).

While entry is free, you'll need to secure a ticket to head along — with one- and two-hours sessions held between 10am–2pm on Saturday and Sunday. New plants will be released for each time slot, too.
