MEMBER BENEFITS

The Seminole Bromeliad and Tropical Plant Society is a circle of the Sanford Garden Club. Therefore, when you join our society, you automatically become a member of the Sanford Garden Club and the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs (FFGC).

 

Your FFGC membership entitles you to receive “The Florida Gardener” magazine, quarterly, which features calendars of gardening events throughout the state, news from various FFGC Districts in Florida, and rules and schedules for entering your own plants in garden shows.

 

In addition, when you join our society, you automatically become a member of the Florida Council of Bromeliad Societies (FCBS). The FCBS maintains a wealth of bromeliad information at their web site www.FCBS.org, including thousands of photos of all the genera of bromeliads, culture information, member services, affiliated societies, databases of bromeliad species and hybrids, a cultivar registry that provides information on parentage and hybridizers, and much more. The FCBS also produces a quarterly newsletter that is mailed to all members.

 

Our Seminole Bromeliad & Tropical Plant Society holds two plant sales each year that are open to the public. These are 2-day weekend events that provide an opportunity to expand your collection at very reasonable prices, and/or sell excess plants while keeping the majority of the profits for yourself.

 

Some of our programs will provide expert speakers on plant-related topics, and additional opportunities to acquire or sell plants from your personal collection.

 

The SBTPS also maintains a library of important and rare books on bromeliads and tropical plants. Members may check out books during meetings held at the Garden Club.

 

In the fall, each member will receive the Sanford Garden Club Yearbook containing membership information and programs, for the new year, for all the Club’s circles.

MEETING INFORMATION

Our society meets the third Sunday of the month, 2PM at the Sanford Garden Club, unless we have scheduled a special event or field trip. The Sanford Garden Club is located at 17-92 & Fairmont Drive, one block south of Lake Mary Boulevard, Sanford.
