Our Annual Show & Sale
June 10th, 11th

Picture

It's Time to Prepare for the June Show and Sale.
Click below to read the flyer that our 2023 Plant Sale Chair, Morlane O'Donnell, put together for interested sellers and volunteers.

2023 Show+Sale June 10-11
For sellers: The show is an opportunity to showcase plants you are selling. Bring a beautiful specimen to the show and let people know that you have cuttings of the plant for sale. 
Setup for the show is on Friday June 9th from 9am to 5pm. Take down starts at 4pm on Sunday the 11 and we have to return the room to its previous condition. A volunteer sign up sheet will be passed around during the May Nursery Tour. 
We'll need tag pullers, security, and food

​Show time!
We have a simple plan for the SHOW and we want YOU [and some of your plants.]
The SDBS show will have a more formal style. We will display your plants on tables with signage, and we'll have hangers as well. It is not a judged show. 
We ask that people use this spreadsheet to let us know what you are planning to exhibit. This way, we hope to ensure we have enough variety to represent the bromeliad family. 
Neatness will be a big factor this year. Plants and pots will be in the spotlight; make sure to give your show broms the spa treatment ahead of time. Clean up debris, remove dry leaves, make sure no pests are present. Your pots must be clean as well, give them a scrub all around. A final rub with a tablespoon of vegetable oil on a paper towel makes even the saddest plastic pot look fresh.
