Visiting Sanibel; where can I find tropicals?

17 years ago

Hi,

I will be visiting Sanibel/Fort Myers area this coming week. Would love to know if there is a place where I can find a nice selection of tropicals or any variety of interesting plants to bring back to Zone 8, coastal VA.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Linda

Linda,
I don't know that area well enough to know what's there but I'm sure others on this forum do. However, I would suggest you redo the posting on the regular Florida Forum Discussion page because a lot more people regularly visit there. I'm sure you'll get responses on that page.
