FANN staffer Mala Dodge reeling in a prospective new landscape professional member for FANN at the 2016 Landscape Show.

THANK YOUs!
Plants for our Landscape Show booth display! Thank you Flatwood Natives Nursery, Green Isle Gardens Nursery, Green Seasons Nursery, McKeithen Growers, Perkins Nursery and Sebastian River Tree Farm for making us look beautiful at the 2016 Landscape Show in Orlando. We featured trees for bees and other wildlife as highlighted in our new Native Plant & Service Directory and also many native wildflowers.

$$ Big thanks to John Sibley and crew at All Native Garden Center in Fort Myers for holding the first-ever FANN benefit plant sale in honor of National Honeybee Day! All Native donated over $700 in plant sales receipts to FANN for the weekend of August 20-21, 2016 and reported over 150 visitors mostly in response to Facebook advertising. Want to help yourself and your association? Host a plant sale at your place of business and let us help you promote it! Call Cammie for more info: 321-917-1960.
