Our November 2015 meeting will feature Guillermo Salazar speaking on Epidendrums. Epi is a huge genus with over 1,000 species, including the Florida native Epidendrum nocturnum, which many have seen in Fakahatchee.
Guillermo was born in Miami Florida but grew up in El Salvador in Central America. He works for the Miami Dade College in the Landscape Technology and Biology Dept.
As a child of a nursery owner father and an interior and floral designer mother, Guillermo was able to develop his natural creative and professional talents even before attending college.
At Florida A&M University he followed his dream of becoming a professional landscape designer, receiving his degree in Landscape Design & Management. Guillermo received a Master’s in Science in Environmental Horticulture from the University of Florida.
The program starts at 7:30 p.m.
