SPS 10th and 15th Anniversary Meeting Photos, and Norfolk Botanical Garden
|
|
|
Southeastern Palm Society meetings are held at
some of the most interesting private and public gardens in the Southeast,
and include the opportunity to meet and exchange experiences with fellow
enthusiasts. Meetings are held in various locations, and we try to hold at
least one per year within driving distance of most of our members. Our
winter meeting typically features an expert speaker and annual plant
auction. And SPS meetings are renowned for their plant sales, when nursery
owners and amateur enthusiasts alike sell and swap hardy palms and unusual
subtropical plants. Non-members are always welcome at SPS
meetings. Members who would like to host and organize a SPS meeting in future are welcome to submit proposals. A form and instructions are mailed each year with the spring issue of Southeastern Palms. |
