The James E. Hendry Chapter’s 71st Annual Show and Sale, held on Saturday, April 6, 2024, was a resounding success!  The Show and Sale was held at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Fort Myers, and the chapter sold over 400 plants in record time!  Show Chair Beth Meehan was very happy with the results of the show, with 178 total entries (68% earned the Gold Seal!), 8 Amateurs entering blooms, and 7 seedlings.  Twenty Seven volunteers from the Chapter worked to make this an unforgettable show and sale!
