Featured Speaker
Alan Mayberry

Alan Mayberry is one of the most experienced and respected men in the arboriculture industry. He has shared his expertise and knowledge of tree biology by training hundreds of arborists. His 37-year career has included roles as the city arborist for
both Clearwater and Dunedin.

 Alan has twice been recognized by awards from the International Society of Arboriculture’s Florida chapter for his accomplishments.
In describing his work, Alan once said, "I became a voice of organisms that have no voice. Trees are the largest organisms on earth, and they do so much for us. I felt they needed someone to speak up for them."

Fright Nights Fund Raiser at Folly Farm
Friday, October 28 and Saturday, October 29 

On Friday, October 28 and Saturday, October 29 
the SHGC will be a recipient of some of the gate for participating in
Fright Nights at Folly Farm

This is really a fun event! Don't miss it!

Our Club is creating a Scary scene filled with ZOM-BEES
and a scary ZOM-BEE hive.
ZOM-BEES are the result of not enough native pollinator plants to nectar on!
The bees have to nectar on human blood!  
Along with our ZOM-BEES, we will have a table with friendly garden gnomes who have information on native pollinator plants to help combat the ZOM-BEES.
We need some garden gnomes to help us on both nights
To volunteer contact Gary!
