MARCH IN THE PARK
SAVE THE DATE! The Garden Club of Cape Coral proudly presents the 17th Annual March in the Park Plant Sale and Art Expo on Saturday, March 8, 2025 from 9 am to 3 pm at Cultural Park, 528 Cultural Park Boulevard, Cape Coral, FL 33990. More than 1,000 plants will be on sale; all plants are grown by club members in their own yards. The plants are very affordable and disease-free and perfect for South Florida gardening. All plants are labeled carefully with the name of the plant and their best growing conditions. Master Gardeners will be on hand to provide advice on the best plants for your landscape and how to grow them. Parking is free! All proceeds benefit non-profit community organizations. We look forward to seeing you there!
A beautiful hand painted rain barrel is the grand prize for the March in the Park fundraiser raffle. A Florida Friendly method to water the garden, this rain barrel is lovely and practical, collecting abundant rainwater for the healthiest lush garden.
