Spring Garden Tour Croton Meeting & Auction Saturday, April 6th, 2019 Cooper City, S. Florida The next Croton 'Group' Meeting and Auction has been combined with the S. Florida-based Spring Garden Tour. It will take place at a popular and well-known garden, consisting of a vast Palm, Croton and tropical plant collection. I believe most of the plants for the Auction will be Croton cultivars, including some extremely rare ones, but I think any plant may show up. The auctioned plants support the donor, as there isn't an actual Croton Society anymore. Trading and personal sales among plant fanatics is popular among the attendees. There is usually…

Sunday, October 9, 2011 Jim Denz Garden Time: 1:00 PM Location: 1085 Highland Circle Los Altos, CA The Jim Denz Garden, on 1/4 acre property, was started in earnest soon after the "big freeze" of December 1990.
