Vendor Waitlist – The BIG Plant Expo 2026

Due to overwhelming demand, vendor spaces for The BIG Plant Expo 2026 have officially sold out. Our carefully curated vendor lineup is intentionally limited to ensure strong visibility, steady traffic, and meaningful sales opportunities for every participating brand. If a space becomes available, vendors on our waitlist will be contacted in the order requests are received. Being on the waitlist also keeps you first in line for future BIG Plant Expo opportunities, including upcoming markets and expansion events. We appreciate your interest and encourage you to join the waitlist—this is where some of our most successful vendor stories begin.
How did you hear about our event? This helps us gauge where our audience is coming from for future marketing.*

Licensing Information – Vendor Waitlist (2026)
This information is provided for advance awareness only and applies only if a vendor is selected from the waitlist and confirmed for participation.

If selected, it is the vendor’s responsibility to secure and maintain all required licenses, permits, and certifications necessary to operate in the State of South Carolina and the City of North Charleston. This may include, but is not limited to, a business license, retail license, and any applicable plant or nursery certifications.

Plant vendors may be required to hold a Clemson Department of Plant Industry Nursery or Dealer Certificate or the equivalent license from their home state. Vendors from out of state must provide appropriate documentation demonstrating compliance with their state’s licensing requirements.

If your state does not require a nursery or dealer license, documentation stating that no license is required must be submitted if selected.

Vendors are also responsible for ensuring compliance with all South Carolina tax laws, including sales tax collection and reporting. SE Rare Plant Market, LLP and The BIG Plant Expo are not responsible for vendor licensing, taxes, inspections, or compliance.

Submission of this waitlist form does not guarantee acceptance and does not replace any licensing or documentation that may be required upon confirmation as a vendor.

1. Legal & Ethical Sourcing

All plants and plant materials you sell must be legally obtained, nursery-grown, and ethically sourced.

No wild-collected, habitat-harvested, or poached plants are permitted.

2. Nursery License Required

All plant vendors must hold a valid state nursery license and include the license number in this application.

Vendor Waitlist Guidelines – The BIG Plant Expo 2026

Joining the Vendor Waitlist does not guarantee a vendor space. Vendors are contacted only if a confirmed vendor cancels or if additional space becomes available.

The BIG Plant Expo is a curated event. Priority will be given to vendors offering rare and uncommon plants, plant-related products, handmade or artisan goods, and brands that align with the overall expo experience.

Waitlist vendors will be contacted in the order applications are received, provided they are a good fit for the event. Please allow up to 5 business days to hear back if a space opens.

If selected from the waitlist, vendors must be prepared to confirm and submit payment promptly to secure the open space.

Being on the waitlist also places you on our priority list for future BIG Plant Expo events and markets, including expansion opportunities.

Event details (dates, load-in times, booth size, and setup requirements) will be shared if and when a vendor space becomes available.

Submission to the waitlist indicates acknowledgment of these terms and agreement to comply with all event rules, policies, and guidelines if accepted.
