The 21st Annual Spring

Plant Extravaganza!


March 1st, 2nd, 3rd – 8th, 9th, 10th – 2019

The brief winter season between the past Fall Extravaganza and this February has been filled with all sorts of plant related activities and they have all added to spring planting fever. From the Ft. Myers Garden Festival in November to the Holiday Party of the South Florida Palm Society, over the new year to the winter garden tour presented by the Palm Beach Palm & Cycad Society in early January, to the TPIE convention in the middle of last month and the Key West Plant Sale this early February; they have all stirred up the urge to scratch that ‘itch’ to grow plants new to those who attended. These events have shown to those in attendance, myself included, that there are always new and exciting plant groups out there to explore. The winter in South Florida has been mild so far (crosses fingers) although a bit on the dry side. The plant material at the nursery has been growing steadily since the late fall season and the selection for this upcoming spring sale has the potential to be record breaking in both quantity and diversity.
 
The Searle Brothers Plant Extravaganzas have become exciting plant sales and a great way for IPS Members, Palmtalk Forum Members and fellow tropical palm & plant enthusiasts to come together and meet in the South Florida area. The events have always been a great way to spend a weekend in the company of those who share your passion for gardening and collecting tropical ornamental plants. To describe the events as just mere plant sales would be an understatement; as they have become much more in the form of social events for our friends and family. Forum members, friends and fellow plant collectors have all come from far and wide to attend and we are continuously surprised in the distances they will cover to share in the event. In regards to the following details, I have tried to include as much information about the upcoming Spring 'Ganza as I could. If you see something that you know should be included and it is missing, please post the idea(s) here or contact me, Jeff Searle or the nursery with the methods listed below and let us know...

Directions:
The map below is a general street map of western Broward County, Florida showing the location of the nursery (Palm tree symbol). Using Sheridan Street would be the best option to get to the nursery if you are heading west through the area. If you are taking the Florida Turnpike, use the Griffin Road exit from the north, or the Pines Blvd. exit from the south. If you need any additional directions, please contact the nursery, Jeff or I (Ryan). When you get close to the nursery, look for large power lines as they run east and west above the nursery. Parking is along the shoulder of 172nd Avenue in front of, and down the street from, the nursery entrance. If you intend to arrive early before sunrise (and many usually do) be wary of hard-to-see speed bumps along 172nd Avenue and there is a possibility of a speed trap as well. There has been considerable construction along I-75 so the exits near Sheridan Street and Griffin Road have been changed slightly compared to previous years. Express lanes have been added to I-75, they may or may not make the trip faster.

Plant Availability, Photo Requests:
For plant availability including a copy of the ever-growing list of palms, cycads and other information regarding which plants and species will be for sale, please contact the nursery, Jeff Searle or I (Ryan). The plant selection process has already begun and will continue right up to the last day before the first morning of the Extravaganza, (sometimes even on the mornings of each event day if the need applies.) The sale lists for palms, cycads and crotons will be made available as soon as they are completed. Special selections might be pulled for sale as requests, but only if the plants are available. There will be certain species, varieties and cultivars that will only be available in limited quantities. These rarer plants will likely sell out quickly in the morning hours, so be sure to arrange your wish list accordingly. Plant groups may have been moved around the sales area, relocated or added in with others. In order to speed your way to your favorite plants please ask a nearby staff member or volunteer as to their location.

Like with previous events, I will be able to provide preview photos of the actual plants for sale. They will be posted in this topic for those who are interested. Send me a message or an email with the names of the plants you would like to see. Sale booklets or sale lists will be made available at the Extravaganza. They will include the list of palms, cycads and crotons for sale. Brochure holders along the main shade house sidewalk will have the booklets/sale lists and other information on display. As soon as I have a basic draft list of species and varieties for sale, I will be able to email or PM it to anyone who would want a copy. Each plant will be priced with either a lavender tag or will have the price written on the pot and/or on the display card or sign.
 
Behold, the first draft of the Croton cultivar list is ready. It is complete, as of today, but there is always a chance that one or two might get added at the last minute. I would put the list as 98% complete.

Friday may be wet...Saturday and Sunday look to be dryer.
But we’re stupid and don’t melt...get a baggie for your camera...see you Friday morning, rain or snow.
 
The first draft of the Palm & Cycad list is ready for for your viewing pleasure. This list is a definite draft version as I know more will be added next week. I can easily put this list at 85% complete as of today, knowing what more is going to pulled, tagged, etc. The additions could be a mix of the very common and the very rare.
