This workshop is for beginner and advanced bromeliad growers to discover the
many bromeliads that grow so well in South Florida. Jeff Hutchinson and Joe
Libertucci of the Boca Raton Bromeliad Society will identify the variations
that thrive in the sunny, shady, and other challenging areas of your Florida
garden. Tips on the best bromeliad growing culture—watering, light
requirements, pests and fertilizing—will be explained using live plants. A
guided walk to the Mounts Island Color Shade Garden will give you a chance to
view bromeliads in a landscape setting. Materials are included in the
registration fee for this workshop. Each participant will take home a plant as
well a chance to win raffle prizes. Rare and hard to find plants will be
offered for purchase at the end of the workshop.
Pre-registration is
required. Please register by Thursday, July 16.
