This weekend is suppose to be gorgeous and we are participating in 2 events -
Our regular spot at Saturday Morning Market, downtown St. Pete, on Sat. Feb. 4th from 9am-2pm
We will also be set up down at the lovely Gamble Mansion property in Ellenton, FL. The land is actually a Florida State park, and this beautiful piece of land has the only surviving plantation house in South Florida. The antebellum mansion and land were home to an extensive sugar plantation and it has a long history of historic tenants.
This Saturday and Sunday, we will be part of the large Arts and Craft Show event on the property, put on my MY Promotions, and, we will be there with our Unusual Exotic plants, Mini Succulent and Cacti, Hollyhocks, loads of Butterfly friendly specimens, Air Plants and colorful Hanging Baskets.
They give tours of the mansion during the weekend which are very popular with locals and snowbirds. If you are in the area, stop on by for a unique experience. There is no charge for entrance to the park or the Arts and Crafts Show and just a minimal charge for touring the mansion.
Another interesting fact about the Gamble Mansion property...the property originally had many Palm Trees planted all over, and about 40 years ago, they decided to pull out all non-natives and replace them with Oak Trees and a very young Mitch was part of the Installation crew that put those Oaks in place, so it's pretty amazing to see the towering Oaks now and know that Mitch was part of making that happen !

The show runs Saturday from 10am to 5pm, and Sunday 10 am - 4pm.
