Bruce McAlpin
Program: Propagation Techniques and Secrets.
Dr.
McAlpin will draw on his many years of experience working with tropical
plants at Bob and Catherine Wilson’s Botanical Garden in San Vito,
Costa Rica; at New York Botanical Garden; at Marie Selby Botanical
Garden; and in his own extensive collection that ranges from aquatics to
desert plants to share various propagation techniques and many trade
secrets to promote success
for the South Florida gardener.
Bruce is known to many of us through TFEPS, the Aroid, the Cactus
and Succulent and the Bromeliad Societies.
He just retired 2 years ago after 18 years as a professor of
botany at Miami Dade College. He
received his Master’s and a Ph.D. in Plant Anatomy from Duke
University. As a true plant lover
preparing for retirement, he built his greenhouse before he built his
home.
