The Suncoast Tropical Fruit and Vegetable Club is a focal point for local experts, professional and hobbyists to exchange information about the art of gardening. We come from many different walks of life and different states and countries. We are bound together by one common bond: our love of tropical gardening. We are a wonderful mix of amateur backyard gardeners and professional horticulturists, who love to learn and share our findings and expertise with everyone that will listen.
