Hoya obsessed or just hoya-curious? Either way, this one’s for you. Bay Area Hoya (BAH) is throwing its 6th annual BAHniversary at the San Mateo Garden Center — a free, drop-in plant celebration open to everyone. Come vote on the Hoya Show, get a diagnosis at the Hoya Clinic for your struggling plant, and shop rare hoyas and dischidias from specialty vendors. It’s a full-on plant lover’s afternoon, and it won’t cost you a thing.
