Each gardener is inspired by something: creating beauty, connecting with nature, cultivating life. This year’s Garden Symposium focuses on the power of gardening and what inspires us to create, connect, and cultivate.
Jenks Farmer is a plantsman, horticulturist, designer, and storyteller who transformed his family’s hay farm into a crinum lily farm. Farmer has spent his life studying nature and plant sciences, sharing his knowledge, and inspiring others about their own gardens. His work on the science of crinum lilies has been published in scientific journals, and main-stream magazines. Join Farmer at the 2019 Garden Symposium to hear about his gardening journey and renew your inspiration.

Why I joined the Chamber
“When I arrived Tallahassee in the Fall of 1967 to lease Tallahassee's first ever High-Rise office building (now Bank of America bldg.) I was so glad to be an active member of the Chamber; women in business was unheard of then; I was the first female to join the Chamber. We were all so busy doing so much for our community and still the Chamber does so much for our great City of Tallahasseey; my sincere appreciaation to all of you for a greeat Job benefiting all of us! ”
