I'm curious as to whether members get to come early or the day before and pick over the (best) offerings.

Before it was all set up that morning and people working could pull some plants. There was so much there it didn't really make a dent. I am not sure about details this year. I am hands off in the tree sale planning and also not a vendor this year. This isn't the typical single vendor tree club sale.

No members do not get to go in earlier.  The sale starts at 9 and everyone has the same opportunity.

Great!  Also great: This isn't the typical single vendor tree club sale.

It is about 4 hours from Miami probably. We skipped last year due to covid but it has been every year before for over 30! It switched to an outdoor venue this year.

Any idea on the number of vendors and variety expected?  Last show I attended was 2017 and 2018 and was great selection and attendance.

I'll be attending. Missed 2019 but enjoyed 2017 and 2018. Hopefully despite with the venue change, the buzz and energy will be the same :D.

No where to plant it ...but at least I got it. ;)

I'm not sure. I don't know if the vendor list is on the Facebook page or not. There should be around 20 but I am out of the loop since I am no longer an officer in the club.


BUMP FOR THE SALE TOMORROW!!!!
