Did You Make It To The

Jensen Beach Garden Expo?

By Lisa Oster
On Feb. 24, the place to be was Indian Riverside Park
for the Third Annual Jensen Beach Garden Expo. It was
a fun and educational plant and garden fair hosted by
the Jensen Beach Garden Club. Visitors stepped into an
explosion of color, strolling through heavenly-smelling
orchids, colorful crotons, exotic gingers, fragrant herbs and
native butterfly-attracting plants. Folks
discovered delicious honey, whimsical
garden accessories, and practical garden
implements. Demonstrations occurred
throughout the day on choosing the right
plants for your landscape, exotic plants
that misbehave, caring for orchids and
helping bees.
Garden Expo proceeds have
supported House of Hope, children’s camperships at the
Environmental Studies Center, the Florida Oceanographic
Society and new this year a college scholarship for a
Jensen Beach high school student. Thank you to the
thousands who attended and our many volunteers,
including the Boy Scouts, Traveling Youth and the Junior
Master Gardeners, club members, family and friends.
Thank you to our major sponsors: Circa 69 Restaurant
and Lindstrom Air Conditioning.
We hope to see you at next year’s 2025 Jensen Beach
Garden Expo! Save the date: March 1, 2025.
