Plants and Trees of Boquete
Peter Sterling replied to Peter Sterling's topic in Gardening, Landscaping, Agriculture
To the community of gardeners and friends of the Boquete Library: We write from Finca Tangara to thank you all for your patronage this year. Two plant sales at the Library, many visits to our farm for plants and compost, and invitations to consult at your gardens earned a grand total of $3401 for the Library's Endowment Fund. We, along with the Library Board, thank you for your patronage. All best wishes, Peter Sterling and Sally Zigmond -

The Biblioteca de Boquete will be hosting a plant sale on Saturday morning April 15. Various plants and flowers will be contributed -- for example, Bonnie Williams' famous blue ginger. And more from the Jaramillo Gardeners. I will bring in some bagged compost and plants. However, I urge people to visit our farm soon to see what we have and order because I cannot move the whole nursery in for the day. Also we have lots of plants blooming here that will not look so great in bags at the Library.Visit us to see the menu and then order for delivery on April 15. Peter Sterling -

Please find a PDF format of a PowerPoint presentation on the Trees and Plants of Boquete. Watch for announcements on News Boquete. Note: this 100 page PDF document is quite large (~20MB) and so it may take a while to download. This PDF version has been optimized for web access from its original ~198MB PowerPoint file size, but with essentially no loss in fidelity of the images.
