Desert Rose Repotting - Workshop
2027-02-12 10:00 - 13:30 (America/New_York) | Deb Dekeulenaere’s Garden, 3743 Weidman Ave., North Port, FL, 34286
If you’ve ever been captivated by the striking beauty of a Desert Rose, you’re not alone. Known for its vibrant, showy flowers and unique, swollen stems, the Desert Rose (Adenium obesum) is a stunning plant that can thrive in a variety of conditions.
But how to grow and care for Desert Roses?
I’m glad you asked. Join us for a very educational and fun workshop where our very own desert rose guru, Deb Dekeulenaere, will go through the steps of repotting, pruning, using the right soil mixtures, and watering, so you will know how to maintain these beautiful plants.
Everybody in attendance will be taking home at least one desert rose!
I know this will be a very popular workshop, so please sign up soon. Spaces are limited to 12 people.
The price of this workshop is still to be determined.
Checks are preferable and should be made payable to the Allamanda Garden Club and given or sent to Carrie Murphy, 5205 Rayfield Drive, North Port, FL 34291.

The event will feature a large silent raffle, a 50/50 drawing, and surprise entertainment! All proceeds support scholarships for students pursuing degrees in agricultural, horticultural, or botanical sciences. The Allamanda Garden Club is a 501(c)3. Last year, we awarded $10,000 in scholarships!
Guests will be seated at tables draped in lovely linens and set with beautiful dinnerware. Every table features a different theme! Wear your floral outfits to enhance the festive atmosphere of the garden party!
The silent raffle promises to be an exciting and entertaining event. Raffle items include stepping stones, pottery, paintings, garden-related decor, jewelry, and gift certificates to local museums, restaurants, garden centers, and cultural events. Almost everyone walks out with a prize!
To purchase tickets, contact JoJo Lucibello. Call (203) 506-3740 or email: jlucibello@msn.com
Tickets are $30. Buy them early! Judging by last year’s garden party’s popularity, we suspect this year’s event will sell out weeks in advance. No tickets will be sold at the door.
