This month‘s newsletter continues the photo essays of gardens visited during the Board of Directors meeting in St. Petersberg/Sarasota, Florida in November 2021.
The Faith Bishock Garden
Pictured: A mighty Tahina spectabilis with our charismatic host, Faith, providing scale.
Faith Bishock is a storied collector of palms, a beloved patron of our Society, and has served on the Board of Directors. Furthermore, in the words of Mike Street, “Faith is very knowledgeable, a lot of fun, and special to us all.” The IPS midterm attendees were treated to a marvelous and misty morning at her garden retreat in eastern Sarasota County.
And while we are on the subject of private gardens; we shall see private gardens galore (including the Andersen garden and the Marcus garden) during the Hawaiian Islands Biennial. Only 2 spots remain on the optional pre-tour to Maui!
