Forgive, I posted this in conversations first by mistake (those rats have me rattled tonight)
The ABC garden expo is on 19th - 21st May at Brisbane Exhibition centre, SouthBank. No financial interest.
The International Tropical Foliage & Gardening Society will have a small stand there - it is a non-profit organisation, the reasonable membership fees providing access to meetings at some wonderful collectors' gardens all over the state and introductions overseas (Florida and Hawaii also have representation) - membership rising and 6 issues of the newsletter per year.
I will be assisting our regional co-ordinator, Carol, on morning of Saturday 20th if anyone is there and drops by to say Hi. |

Well there was a tremendous crowd at the expo this morning (Saturday) to such an extent that it was almost impossible to take photos of the larger exhibits.
I had the opportunity to talk to some terrific people, everyone seemed enthusiastic. Our own table , the International Tropical Foliage & Gardening Society, drew many folk, thanks mainly to the fabulous floral and plant arrangements, courtesy of a donor for the broms and cordylines, and to two generous members for their garden contributions of gingers, heliconias, brom flowers and fabulous foliage. Apologies to the girls, I never even asked their consent to post these! Gulp am I in trouble, but they are a lot easier on the eye than me! There was too little time to see everything while trying to do my duty (and too many distractions to do my duty properly - again, apologies girls if you read this). But some of the displays were wonderful, lots of interesting things, talks, people. One day left, I think it would be worth a visit but then I have never been to such a large display before.
Be ready for inching round, though. Jenny with Carol, our Border district co-ordinator, who has dedicated much time to making the ITF&GS stand such a success.

| Alison, Got an email from Carol today stating that it has been a great success so far with a few new members joined and plenty of interest from prospective members. I am sure that Carol and Jenny wouldn't mind at all. The top photo would be a great inclusion in 'Tropical Topics'. If you could please possibly email it up to me I could see about getting it put in an upcoming issue. Andrew. |
