Our club was founded in 1980 for the  purpose of gathering together those  interested in growing African violets and  their Gesneriad relatives in the South  Florida area.  Since then, many members have participated in trading plants and  leaves, learning from programs on  cultivation, putting on shows, and generally  enjoying the company of those who are  enchanted by the many varieties of our  favorite plant.
