The Seminole Bromeliad & Tropical Plant Society is an affiliate of the Bromeliad Society International and of the Florida Council of Bromeliad Societies. It is a circle of the Sanford Garden Club and thus affiliated with the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs.

SBTPS is a membership based fellowship of Bromeliad & Tropical Plant enthusiasts that promote and develop public awareness of the diverse plant family Bromeliaceae (Bromeliads). We share and exchange information concerning the culture, identification and hybridization of bromeliads. In acknowledging our members parallel gardening interests and affiliations we also promote many other Tropical Plant families that can be grown in our transitional temperature zone.

Our society meets the third Sunday of the month, 2PM at the Sanford Garden Club, unless we have scheduled a special event or field trip. Please see our meeting schedule for the upcoming topics and events.

Directions to the Garden Club
The Sanford Garden Club is located at 17-92 & 200 Fairmont Drive, in Sanford, FL, one block south of Lake Mary Boulevard.

In the area? Guests are always Welcome.  Come visit with us on a Sunday Afternoon and participate in our fellowship of Bromeliad and Tropical Plant enthusiasts.

They traveled farther a field to attend sales events. Having collected from multiple and varied sources, their collection is extensive and varied among many genera, species and hybrid. They have many plants not commonly found in other collections. George can also lay claim to field collecting experience, currently growing offspring plants from his trip to Peru.
