It’s that time of the month again.…time for FIRST FRIDAY!!! SPRING is here! April 22nd is Earth Day, so our theme for this month is green, spring and new beginnings.

Back by pop­ular demand, local celeb, Nick Peterson will be tending our bar as well as man­ning our raffle. That’s right! This FF we will have a raffle drawing every thirty min­utes where Nick will do his best Vanna White to pick our winner.

This month we are part­nering with our Kennedy Blvd neighbor, Malindy Elene Bridal Cou­ture and South Tampa neighbor, the Tampa Garden Club. Spring brides and garden flowers, what could be better?

The Tampa Garden Club (Tampa Fed­er­a­tion of Garden Clubs, Inc) was founded in 1928. TFGC also joins forces other garden cir­cles, Azalea, Bayshore, Founders, Garden Gate, Heights, Old Fash­ioned and Rose. Real­izing that in sup­porting other cir­cles, they could accom­plish more than any one small club. The TFGC is also a member of the Florida Fed­er­a­tion of Garden Clubs, Inc. The mis­sion of the TFGC is making our sur­round­ings a more beau­tiful and joyous place to live. Like most Garden Cir­cles, TFGC has projects that they strive to main­tain. Some of their projects have been; the Children’s Ser­vice Center, the Plant Park grounds and the campus of Hills­bor­ough Com­mu­nity Col­lege. TFGC is also active in edu­cating the public on the impor­tance and how to con­serve our envi­ron­ment. In addi­tion to their green thumb, the TGC is a beau­tiful event loca­tion. There is no other place that will give you such breath­taking views of Bayshore and per­fectly man­i­cured gar­dens for that per­fect back­drop for wed­ding, bridal, anniver­sary photos and more. A 501C3 orga­ni­za­tion, dona­tions to the TFGC are accepted and tax deductible.
