Educational resources on planting and caring for fruit trees will be available throughout the event, with experienced volunteers and vendors on hand to answer questions and offer guidance. The Rare Fruit Council will return to the same location later this year for its annual Fall Tropical Fruit Tree & Edible Plant Sale on Oct. 17.

The Palm Beach Chapter of the Rare Fruit Council (RFC) includes several hundred members who share an interest in discovering, growing and enjoying tropical fruit. The group currently hosts in-person meetings on the second Friday of each month at 7 p.m.
