FEATURED THIS MONTH
“Plant Outside the Box: Using Tillandsias for Art, Design, and…
Privacy”
​
​Andy Cuffel will share his extensive knowledge about how and where to grow Tillandsias. Andy is the owner of Cuffel Farms, a Tillandsia nursery in the San Diego area. He has also worked with bromeliad experts such as Chris Davis, Jeffrey Kent, and Pam Koide Hyatt. He is a dynamic speaker who will give us an idea of just how limitless the possibilities are when it comes to using Tillandsias in the garden. He will focus on some of the
unique display methods that he has had success with in his business and he will also include his latest project, a 70 foot-long Tillandsia fence in his yard.
Added Bonus: Andy will be bringing plants from his nursery for our plant table. He will also be bringing some plants to sell.
Please join us for this informative presentation and enjoy all of our other bromeliad activities such as show and tell, plant raffle, silent auction of unusual plants, and great refreshments.
