ORLANDO, Fla. — Due to Hurricane Irma’s damage and complications, the Florida Wildflower Foundation has rescheduled the Florida Wildflower Symposium, which was to take place Sept. 22 and 23 in Orlando. The new date for the event is April 27 and 28 at the UF-IFAS Orange County Extension Office in Orlando.

If you have registered for the symposium, please let us know what you’d like to do. Send an email to [email protected]

You can ask us to do one of the following:

• Provide a refund. If you request, your registration fee, lunch and field trip fee will be reimbursed, either by check or through PayPal, depending on your original method of payment. Please allow 30 days for your refund to be processed.
• Apply your registration and other fees to the rescheduled spring event.
• Have the Florida Wildflower Foundation retain some or all of your fee as a donation to the Florida Wildflower Foundation. If you select this option, you will receive a letter for tax purposes noting the amount of your donation.

If you joined the Florida Wildflower Foundation as member to attend the symposium, we are grateful for your support through membership. Be assured that you will be able to attend the rescheduled event at the member rate.

We must hear from you as soon as possible no matter which of the options you choose.

We expect to post information on the event as soon as we can re-confirm presenters and field trips for the new date. If you have questions or concerns, please contact us at [email protected] or 407-622-1606.
