Which do you love more: picking up a haul of new plants at bargain prices, enjoying that much cherished weekend sleep-in or having a few brews? If your answer is all three, you'll be pleased to know you can have your cake and eat it too when St Kilda's Espy plays host to a couple of after-dark plant sales later this month.
Greenery-loving pop-up Wandering Jungle invites punters to drop by after work, pick up some lush new foliage for their collections and then party on into the night. Kicking off at 4pm on both Wednesday, May 22 and Thursday, May 23, the event will showcase a variety of indoor plant species for you to browse and buy, from birds of paradise to plenty of cacti to the good ol' fiddle leaf fig.
To round out the evening shopping experience, The Espy's two restaurants will be serving up their usual snacks — think next-level pub eats in one and Cantonese fare in the other — while a local DJ works their magic on the decks. And drinks-wise, there'll be a heap of cocktails and beers available at the sale — or, you can explore of of The Espy's 12 bars (yes, 12).
Wandering Jungle Nighttime Plant Sale runs from 4–10pm.
