Founded in 2013 by Chuck Nichols, A Tropical Plant Fair has quickly become a signature event in Wilton Manors with a growing list of contributors and sponsors including but not limited to Hotspots, The Islander, Iberia Bank, Island City Traders and Wilton Manors Discount Liquor & Wine Chain. A special thanks to The Courtyard Cafe and Shawn whose contribution to the success of last year's VIP reception will not go unnoticed. The Courtyard Cafe and Shawn's team will again provide the food for this year's VIP reception.
Beautiful trees, flowering shrubs, cycads, tillandsias, tropicals, rare palms and other exotics will be featured along with outstanding orchids, bromeliads, heliconias and gingers. All plants will be available for sale. Information relating to landscaping, insect control, fertilizer and irrigation will be available from the Master Gardeners of Broward County. An additional half dozen not-for-profit organizations will participate. These include Cat / Dog rescue and adoption, Poverello and Florida Native Plant Societies.
Proceeds from this event will help in developing the proposed gardens at Equality Park as well as benefiting the many programs and services rendered to the community by The Pride Center. This year's VIP event will include a Tree planting ceremony of Eucalyptus trees (Eucalyptus Deglupta) donated to The Pride Center by Aroidia Research Nursery.
