An update from the City of Lakeland, including a partial vendors list:

We're confirmed and have been advised that we'll be back at our usual spot.  It's a very short walk from the Parking Lot, and the Garden Bistro is close by if you are hungry.  If you're looking for something more upscale, Harry's Seafood Bar and Grill is only a short 1500 ft. walk/5 minute drive away.

Our President, Dave Hall, is planning to be at the booth with our Membership Chair @kinzyjr and vendor Farnsworth Farms.  We'll have quite an assortment of plants, T-shirts, and other stock to sell.  Come early, buy often, eat well, see some amazing palms, cycads, desert flora and tropical plants.  A portion of our proceeds are donated to the garden. 

For any questions, please feel free to contact us at cfpacs.membership@gmail.com.

You can't get much more central than this location.  I'll be at the booth to greet those who stop by.

I'm making plans to attend and hope to be there and meet some cool people and plants. That selection of plant groups is right up my alley and it looks like decently cool weather for the event. And your right about the central location, im far from almost all of it!

If you make it, you'll get to meet the CFPACS president and one of the most knowledgeable vendors in our ranks.  He comes from a bit further north and inland than Hudson, so he can certainly proffer some advice about getting things through the winter.
