I attended a meeting of the First Coast Palm Society this past Saturday and the members agreed to facilitate and host Palmfest 2007. It is my understanding that FCPS Treasurer, Matt Encinosa, has been in contct with John DeMott to advise that we will be hosting the event. We are in the process of determing a venue to host the event in the NE Florida area and setting the date. We are looking at hosting the event some time in the September to early October range. We do want to make sure that the event does not conflict with any large Palm Sales or other events that may detract from interest in the event. Is anyone aware of any other events that we should take into con…

SFPS will hold its sale at Montgomery Botanic Center for the first time ever! A limited tour is available but why look at their stuff when you can buy the same thing for yourself? The very seed from MBC palms (and don't forget the ones from FTBG and Flamingo) are distributed to us and we waste no time getting them to market! See palms that are almost never available for sale anywhere, all in the same place at one time! Folks this is the real thing. This is The Worlds Largest sale of palms, from many vendors, in one place. Don't miss it!

This Sunday, the 24th of June at 10:00am...Palm Grove Nat'l Park, Mt Tamborine.
