Spring Show and Market schedule March through May 2018

Greetings all, Mother Nature seems to have decided to turn quickly to a very warm Spring/Summer mood but we are ready for it !

We wanted to share with you our upcoming Spring Plant shows info, plus continued happenings at market, plus, we have great new plant offerings.

First, this weekend, Sat. March 3rd, the whole of Sat. Morning Market moves temporarily to Williams Park, because of the Grand Prix car race rep. All vendors will be present in the park and surrounding streets. You can find Armstrong Nursery right at the front and center corner of 3rd street and 1st avenue North..yup, we will be "on" the street !

Here's a pic from last year.....

We had a great time last year and anticipate another fun day and the weather is going to be gorgeous !

Next week, the Market is completely closed because of the Car Race but luckily we are staying busy as we head over to Leu Botanical Gardens in Orlando for their annual Spring Plant festival.  Leu is one of our favorite shows and, favorite gardens. It's an easy one tank trip from the Tampa Bay area, and, free admittance to the park all weekend, which is quite a savings.

Let's catch up on plants, and then I will give your our complete Spring Market and Show schedule:

We are slowly getting back into stock with Passion Vines and have lovely Lady Margaret back in stock

We are back in stock with Bougainvilleas, including the "Miss Pixie" which is the dwarf thornless type.

Epidendrum orchid is one of the easiest orchids to grow and they love sunshine and warmth and are blooming profusely right now.

Fiddle Leaf Ficus is one of our favorite plants and everyone is always looking for them.  A terrific house or office plant, its easy to care for and quite dramatic. We have them in short 3 gallons and also in taller 10 gallon pots.

In addition to usual wide selection of Succulents and Cacti, we have started to bring some very rare Thai hybrid Desert Roses, like this one depicted.  Most of them are double flowers, and many have variegated coloring !

We are also back in stock with the popular String of Pearls !!!
