FANN 2013 Spring Native Plant Trade Show in the works

FANN plans a Spring 2013 native plant trade show, of a size & scope to be defined, for early April 2013.

Tentative date & location: Thurs-Fri, April 4-5, Kissimmee

The native plant industry has long needed to showcase its plants and expertise. FANN surveys in 2009, 2010 and 2011 confirm sufficient interest from members and allies to move forward. A committee has been formed and will kick off the effort Thursday, Jan. 26, with a meeting in Kissimmee.

Inquiries and suggestions from potential partners and participants are welcome; please contact us.

Committee members include:
Nancy Bissett, The Natives
Terry Godts, Green Isle Gardens
Jenny Evans, SCCF Native Plant Nursery
Jerry Fritz, SUNCO Nursery
Tom Heitzman, Sweet Bay Nursery
