ZIP TRIP UPDATE & CHANGE

[Fish...@aol.com]

Our two stop zip trip will be Sat. march 25th starting at 9:45 Am sharp. 1st stop will be Ensey Grove south end of Merritt Island . This is a 5th generation family owned mango grove. The grove has over 60 trees with mango varieties only found in their grove. This grove has a rich heritage and both John and Ed his son both deceased were pioneers in developing mango cultivars. Angie Travis and her son will be our host and share  the history as well as tell you about the different Mango’s .

 

2nd stop  Around noon will be at Rod and Christine Davignon. 2 Acre lot with everything you can imagine . They specialize with over 6 fruit tree I’ve never heard of. They both love to plant something that no one has ever heard of. You will really enjoy this couple.  Their place is located off north tropical trail just below 528 bridge.

 

Suggestions: try to go to rest rooms between stops as most don’t have rest rooms available, leave an impression with these people who have volunteered their place by bringing some fruit if you have some or a fruit tree you can’t plant or have propagated. Refreshments will be furnished by club ( Johnny)  Space will be limited to around 20 people so PLEASE car pool. No picking unless you get permission.  Pass on to club members who don’t get emails about trip.  Additional directions will come later on in month. any questions please call Lin Flake 321 271 1484   Lek canceled so we are just going to 2 spots. I made several corrections  “ 528 bridge and added Mrs Travis name dropped Lek’s place off and changed time for Davignon stop      Thanks Lin
