14th Annual Plant & Garden Fair this Weekend, Mount Dora, FL

By
Real Estate Agent

Central Florida top growers will be on the lakefront in downtown Mount Dora this weekend to present the 14th Annual Mount Dora Plant and Garden Fair.

In addition to plants and trees the Fair offers garden antiques, festive flags, unusual containers and a wealth of free advice on gardening in Central Florida.

The event features orchids, native plants, butterfly-attracting perennials, herbs, roses, camellias, begonias and a wide variety of rare and unusual tropical plants.

At last year's fair I picked up a pinwheel jasmine, cat whiskers, penta and firebush for my garden. (All still thriving thanks to the expert advice I received from the growers.) This year I'm on the lookout for some bromeliads and orchids. I also hope to pick up some more pinwheel jasmine.

The fair runs today until 5:00 and tomorrow from 9:00 to 5:00.

Steve,

Our weather is beautiful. It's about 78 degrees, sunny with a nice breeze, perfect for the Plant and Garden Fair in Mount Dora and the First Annual Green Fair in Tavares.

Chris -- Unfortunately the flu finally got me and laid me up for the weekend so I missed it. I'll have to go directly to Green's Nursery and get my wishlist plants.
