North Texas Greg Gang had a blast!

#GregInYourCity

Soooo #NorthTexasGregGang did it again! We had so much fun in Dallas yesterday afternoon. Good food, great friends and gorgeous plants!! We checked out Rubials and were wowed with all they had to offer. Beautiful plants, some that I’d not seen before. Also TONS of pots that I hadn’t seen before. I bought two.
Got to meet @jaysjungle ‘s adorable kiddos too!

Then we went on over to the Bishop Art District and checked out Oasis - thank you @ShinyBudew and Dustin for suggesting that! It’s a cool little plant house with some gorgeous plants and succs. There was one beautiful WhiteGhost Cactus in the back and Shiny snagged it. What an amazing plant! Check out her post about it.

And @YammieOf3 surprised us with home-made pots with succulents in them. Please check out her oasis. Her pots are so fun and unique! She paints all of them. She’s so talented. She also walked away with a variegated McColley’s Finale!! Who knew? Not me!

This makes 3 meetup weekends in a row. We have had so much fun getting to know each other and exploring different nurseries and shops. Plant shopping is better with #GregFriends !!!!

When is the next meetup. Just saw some $50 flights. I'd fly to hang for the day!
@TJphilobsessed 10/29? I could hang for a few hours before returning same day.
@YammieOf3 this is a F-ing Pink Pineapple? Sorry I didn't realize that! Was severely sleepy & distracted by kids (and plants!)

Thank you!
@AwesomePlants I'm hosting one at the Downtown Mesquite Farmers Market on Sept 17th! I'll post more details this week!
@jaysjungle I'll be in FL with @melodey for the #Ecuagenera open house🥹
@AwesomePlants @jaysjungle going to get some really really cool plants I'm excited af.

NGL though give me some advanced notice like a couple month advance notice and I can possibly swing a TX trip.😅
😊💚
@jcPlantProper yes!! It’s a Selby.
I’ve been wanting one for a while. @AwesomePlants that would be SO much fun!! Let me check with the #NorthTexasGregGang to see when the next one is. So far we’ve met I think 3 weekends in a row? !
@AwesomePlants @melodey I’m super jelly! Ecuagenera open house WHHAAAAATTTT??!!
@melodey what area are you in? I have planty contacts and friends all over that are organizing events similar!
@TJphilobsessed see if y'all are free 10/29.
@AwesomePlants ok. I’ll check it out.
@jaysjungle I'm on the FL/GA stateline and frequent the Orlando/Melbourne area a lot.
Happy everyone had a great time. 😍
@melodey I know a TON of Florida people and it's one of my first stops when I get on the road next year hopefully!
@jaysjungle do you plan on traveling full-time next year? Curious because that's what I do 😂
@ShinyBudew @jaysjungle @TJphilobsessed @YammieOf3 @AwesomePlants We’ve got to plan something soon!! Would love to see more greggers from other states come out!! This would be AMAZING!
@AwesomePlants it’s so far in advanced at least for me that I should be able to hang out!!! Most of the time we kinda plan as we go but if other greggers are coming it just to say hi we can definitely organize something 🤩
I wanna hang out 😩😩
Awesome!! I want to do one here! I know there’s someone from the Allentown area on this app. That’s close!
@Kaleyeeaah you're less than 4 hours away. I'd join a meetup in PA if it's in the fall.
@AwesomePlants where are you!??
@melodey I'm starting a podcast and also working with a lot of people @RJG included) to get #greginyourcity and I hope to be able to do a road trip and visit friends from TX to MD to visit my podcast cohost.

@melodey the 10th
Did I? 😲🫣 @Vinxy2 @melodey
@GuptA-F thanks!! It’s currently my favorite Tee. It has a sillouette on the back of him riding a bucking bronco. So cool! I got it from Garth Brooks’ website.
@TJphilobsessed awwwww man! I love him and his music. Such a nice guy and always so patient with fans. A real class act!
@GuptA-F yes!! He was such a genuine person. My husband and I stopped in Kaycee Wyoming last month driving back from Montana and we took a few minutes to stop at his memorial park. It has a huge statue with him on a horse. It’s pretty cool. I think that’s where he lived until he died. Great music!!
