Edison Ford horticultural staff, and occasionally experienced guest speakers, instruct participants on a variety of topics relating to gardening in Southwest Florida:
January 11, 2025: Amazing Cycads
Take a walk on the wild side with world renowned cycad expert Chip Jones. A collector, author and grower of the plants that survived the dinosaurs, Chip will be our featured speaker at our January 11th, 2025 Garden Talk. The program will be held in the Cycad Garden at Edison Ford Winter Estates. Even if you have never grown one or are familiar with Cycads, this is sure to be a fabulous exchange or introduction to these endangered plants. Learn why including a cycad in your garden may be the perfect upgrade or focal point. Meet at Welcome Booth at 9:45 am. Members: $20, Non-Members – $30.

Did you know that the Estates has a Sanseveria garden? We’ll look beyond the invasive “Mother-in-Law’s tongue” plant to dozens of other species and learn what makes these easy-care plants so collectible. We’ll also discuss dracaenas. Members: $15; non-members: $20
