Road Trips Gardeners living in South Florida already know this, but those of us whose views of the tropics are fleeting might want to check out the annual show of the South Florida Palm Society.

It’s set for November 1 and 2, 2014, in the Palmetum of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, 10901 Old Cutler Road, Coral Gables, Florida.

The society offers a large selection of palms available for the home landscape with vendors and members available for advice and to answer your questions about these tropical plants.
