Vendor Policies

Who Should Apply?

We strongly favor vendors selling primarily carnivorous plants (non-carnivorous plants are allowed but should not be the majority of plants sold) or horticultural supplies such as pots, substrate, and terraria. 

Limited spaces are also available for handmade plant-themed items. Commercially manufactured or mass-produced crafts will not be permitted. Items generated primarily using artificial intelligence or based on widely distributed/open source designs may not be accepted. 

Vendor Fee

6 foot table space (7'x5') - $75

10' x 10' booth - $125

10' x 20' booth - $200

Vendor Admission

Vendors and assistants will receive free admission to the show. You must list the names of all attendees helping with your display in the application form below. 

Booth Policies

Booth sharing between vendors will not be allowed.

 

Vendor fees are non-refundable unless the event is cancelled by MACPS. In the event of a cancellation by the vendor, fees may not be transferred or refunded. MACPS will not be responsible for cancellations or changes due to weather, emergencies, or circumstances beyond our control. 

All displays must remain within the boundaries of the assigned booth space. 

6 foot tables are available to rent for $10 each. Chairs are available at no cost, but we ask that you request the number you will need in advance. Vendors are responsible for transporting rented tables and chairs from the on-site storage area before setup and returning them after breakdown. 

 

Upon acceptance of your application, an invoice will be sent with the total cost. Payment must be received within 2 weeks of invoicing or the space will be forfeited.

Vendors must have at least one seller above the age of 18.

Vendors are encouraged to carry their own liability insurance.

Damage/Loss

MACPS will not be held responsible for accidents or loss of property by water, fire, theft, or otherwise, regardless of the cause or extent of damage/loss.

Vendor Behavior

All vendors and attendees will be expected to act in a professional manner. Angry outbursts, rude/disrespectful behavior, verbal threats, or physical violence will not be tolerated, and violators will be asked to leave.

Plant Material

Plant material offered for sale must be well-rooted (unless specifically noted as cuttings), disease-free, healthy, and in overall good condition. Plants that are illegally collected, removed from the wild, poached, and/or otherwise illegal to sell will be prohibited. MACPS reserves the right to ask vendors to remove any items that do not meet these standards. 

Any non-horticultural items (i.e. crafts) offered for sale must be handmade original designs created by the vendor. Representative items must be listed in the application below. MACPS reserves the right to ask vendors to remove any items that do not meet these standards. 

Set-up & Clean-Up

Set up will begin at 6 am and doors open to the public at 10 am. All vendors must be unloaded and in their space by 9:30 am for setup. If you are not present and beginning setup in your space by then, your space may be reassigned at the discretion of the event organizers. 

The event concludes at 5 pm. Vendors should not start tearing down until the end of the show has been announced. Tear down and load out must be completed by 7 pm.
