Wellington Garden Club (WGC) will hold its monthly meeting on Monday, October 7, 2024, at the Wellington Community Center located at: 12150 West Forest Hill Boulevard. The meeting will feature a presentation at 10:00 AM by Tom Ramiccio on Bromeliads and how to propagate them.
When Tom Ramiccio ran out of space for bromeliads in his Lake Worth yard, he planted them on trees, creating a vertical garden of the colorful, water-holding “vase” plants. He estimates he has about 7,000 bromeliads in his collection. He brings with him more than 40 years of professional marketing and Public Relations experience. He served 3 terms as mayor of the City of Lake Worth. He was the President/CEO of the Greater Lake Worth Chamber of Commerce (10 years). As the marketing manager for Banyan Printing, he oversaw all major marketing campaigns for large corporate clients and several sports franchises. He served as the Marketing Director for the Palm Beach County Visitors and Convention Bureau (over 10 years), Governor of the Florida District of Kiwanis International (37 years), and was a Salvation Army board member (35 years). There is much more but, needless to say, we are lucky to have him.
The community is invited to join the club for coffee, snack items, and to partake in our amazing plant raffle at 9:30. Visitors are asked to check in at the guest table. To reserve a spot, please contact Carol Ralph at: caroltaylorralph@gmail.com.
