Thanks Johnny C for the great pitch for our Fall meeting: The Fall 2011 meeting of the Southeastern Palm Society will be held at the beautiful Magnolia Plantation and Gardens in Charleston, South Carolina on October 15, 2011. Founded in 1676 by the Drayton family, Magnolia Plantation has survived the centuries and witnessed the history of our nation unfold before it from the American Revolution through the Civil War and beyond. It is the oldest public tourist site in the Low country, and the oldest public gardens in America, opening its doors to visitors in 1870 to view the thousands of beautiful flowers and plants in its famous gardens. The gardens also have a Nature Train and Boat Tour in addition to the beautiful Gardens. The Peacock Cafe is also located in the gardens. The meeting will begin at 10:00AM. Following a brief business meeting there will be a tour of the gardens. The Peacock Cafe located in the gardens will be open for lunch, or you may lunch on your own. Following lunch, we will plenty of time for trading and selling plants and touring the gardens on our own.. So join us here at Magnolia Plantation to experience the beauty of its gardens and its rich history. Information and directions can be found at: http://www.magnoliaplantation.com/
