you were unaware of! Of course simply helping with muscle power is
also always appreciated. There are always plant show sales that need
you to help set up and sell plants. Club administration is another area
you are encouraged to delve into. We can always use the talents of
ǡǡ
ability, sales, advertising and publicity, and so much more!
So don’t be shy! We can always use you and what you have to offer. You may just surprise yourself

Chip studied Horticulture at Alabama A&M University before moving to Florida. He
started Jones Landscaping in Davie and maintains a nursery as well that is open by
appointment. They have interesting plants for south Florida with an emphasis on
water wise plants that are grown to good size for immediate impact in the land-
scape. Their plants perform well and look great! Chip specializes in eco-friendly,
esoteric exotics and native plants, with bold textures and larger sizes for residential
and commercial landscapes. They have cycads and plants available that you won’t
find anywhere else! Chip has won numerous awards with his plants and is known
throughout the plant community by his participation and support of various
societies. His website is www.cycadflorida.com and this month he will be doing a
hands on presentation and will also bring plants to sell. Don’t miss it!

We’re adding a new segment to the SCURF where you can become a
contributor rather than just a reader! By sharing your own personal
triumphs or possibly a failure you encountered, others can learn and
grow from your experience. It’s an opportunity for you to share pictures
of your favorite plants or simply get answers to questions like “Why did
it do that?” from our group of knowledgeable growers.
It’s your chance to become a “player” rather than just a “bystander”. So if you forget (or were
too shy) to ask questions at the last meeting, here’s a way to get answers or simply show others
what a really awesome grower you are! As Richard said in his opening remarks, you might just
ϐ Ǩ
Simply email your pictures, questions, or other information that you’d like to share with the
club to the editor at bbtwest@msn.com, and take that next step. The plant you save may be your
own!

I was sad to hear that Gayle was moving and needed to hand over
the SCURF. She’s done a great job for years and we will miss her
passion dearly. Then I heard her say something about unlimited
access to the best growers in South Florida who regularly speak at
our meetings and what sounded like “free plants for life”. I may be
new to the club, but who can pass up access to knowledge and
free plants for life....right Gayle?
I’m a Husker by birth and spent much of my life on farms
in the Midwest enjoying a rural lifestyle by growing crops
Ǥ ǡ
gardens and pulling weeds, I swore when I left the farm
I’d never touch another plant or shovel snow again! Then
therapeutic, unlike shoveling snow. Imagine that?
I’ve now lived in several regions of this gorgeous country.
Each with its own unique climate and vegetation. I grew
succulents for 20 years in Tampa Bay then ornamentals
and vegetables in the dense clay of the Great Plains. Ferns
ϐ
and to this day, several of my friends swear I grew the
hottest jalapenos they can recall in Louisiana!
ϔ
I now reside in Boca Raton so it seems like my
botanical journey has come full circle! A couple
years back I purchased a bromeliad (Aec. DeLeon)
off eBay and contacted the seller to see if I could
pick it up in Hollywood rather than take a chance
shipping it. The seller? Shirley Konefal, of course.
Once I saw her collection and Richard’s unique
wood creations I was bitten by the bromeliad bug!
Like many of you, I’m quickly running out of room
even for pups. Then again who needs grass, right?
ǯϔ As the new editor of the SCURF, I look forward to
learning all I can, sharing what I know, and of
Until next time, course touring your garden in the coming year
over cocktails!
