A Trip to the AOS Headquarters & Gardens in Delray Beach, FL
I took lots of pictures around the gardens and inside their display greenhouse. You can view them at:

Great photos Sue! 
The AOS VCBG is really developing into a wonderful place. After three hurricanes, so much progress was washed away, but the past year has been good to the garden. There is always something going on there...judging, meetings, researchers, garden work. 
They also rent out areas of the facility for weddings, special events. Since judging is on Saturdays, we tend to see weddings get set up for the evening as we're judging. I can say there is an unlimited number of taffeta colors...eek!

Hi Rhonda...it was very nice to meet you on Saturday 
The last picture (I think) is a shot of the wedding area they were setting up while we were there We were speaking to one of the ladies there and all of the wedding party and guests were to be dressed in white...interesting idea

Hi Scott, if you're interested in Japanese artifacts and such, there's a museum and Japanese gardens right next door. We didn't go but it's most likely another lovely place to visit Enjoy...

The Morikami Museum and Gardens are what she's talking about. It is amazing and they have plenty of special activities. Check it out, you'll be amazed!
