Hello, I am so glad you have found us! I want to welcome you to our newly updated website. Isn’t it beautiful? Thanks to Gladys Cook for doing such a great job. Please stroll (& scroll) around the site. There is so much to see and learn about our favorite plant, the incredible African violet.
Speaking of learning, have you been to one of our meetings? We meet twice a month- the third Friday of the month meeting is in person at the Seffner Mango Library, Our night meetings are held via ZOOM on the first Thursday of the month. Whichever way we meet, our program chair, Celeste Christman, has arranged to have informative programs that will help us grow better and more beautiful plants. This meeting will also have a program and a business meeting. I encourage all our club members to attend either the day meeting, the night meeting or both.
Keep growing and showing!
