August 23, 20241 yr

We are pleased to announce that CFPACS will have a table at St. Johns Botanical Garden and Nature Preserve for their celebration of their first full year after the grand opening. If you are a CFPACS member and wear your CFPACS shirt, the admission fee is waived. There will be food and live entertainment in similar fashion to last year's event, and hopefully without the heavy rain the night before the event. The garden boasts palms nearly unheard of in Florida such as Chrysalidocarpus decipiens and Rhopalostylis baueri.

LOCATION: 8310 County Road 13 South, Hastings, FL, 32145
DATES and TIMES: Saturday, October 19^th, 2024 + Sunday, October 20^th, 2024 Open to Close
WEBSITE: https://www.stjohnsbotanicalgarden.org/

No RSVP is required, just bring a chair, wear your shirts, and bring your wallet if you want to buy food from the vendors.

Looking forward to working the booth here. This has always been one of my favorite gardens. When CFPACS had its first meeting at this location back in Fall 2018, I bought two packs of seeds (Roystonea regia and Thrinax radiata) at the auction that I believe were from @Steve the palmreader, and a few Sabal minor two-leaf seedlings from Kyle Brown. Here are the resulting plants 6 years later:

Roystonea regia
