In 2001, we were
able to put on our first plant show showcasing many tropical
plants that are grown in South Florida. Our Show and Sale will be at
Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden - 10901 Old Cutler Road - Coral Gables,
Florida
The show and sale features an exciting display of rare plants that are generally
not
available through commercial venues. We had numerous vendors all
selling from
their booths and a Members' Table that featured some very
unique plants as well.
At the event, we had
ferns, aroids, heliconias, crotons, gesneriads, cordylines, orchids, bougainvillea and bromeliads available for purchase.
Many of the
plants that our members grow are collected from around the world and in many
cases, newly introduced species. Our international members will be
bringing plants in
from Indonesia, Malaysia, The Philippines and Ecuador.
The display featured many different ferns and tropical plants. Last year's show
incorporated aroids, ferns, orchids, gesneriads, begonias, crotons, coleus and
bromeliads.
If you are
planning to visit the South Florida area, please drop in to see this
renowned garden. The gates are open from 9:30 a.m. to
4:30 p.m. seven days a week.
With paid admission, you are entitled to visit the Garden as well as our
Exhibit and Sale.
