📅 Do Not Miss: March 21 - Spring Equinox Plant Market
🍩 Saturday, March 21, 2026: 9 am - 4 pm
Smokey: You'd be perfect for a Gulf beach cafe. But gardeners don't come here for donuts.
Sunshine: Really? Then why do they come?
Smokey: Some gardeners lost plants to the freeze. Others want trees that will handle winter better. Cold-hardy avocados. Macadamia. Grumichama. And some just come for fun - to see the PeopleCats.
Sunshine: And my charm... and my donuts will make it more fun.

More Spring Equinox Plant Market details
🌞 Welcome to our Spring Equinox Plant Market, proudly hosted by the PeopleCats of Top Tropicals.
This one feels different.
After Florida’s record freeze, many gardens are brown, trimmed back, or missing a few old friends. We felt it too. And now - we rebuild.
The equinox marks equal day and night. More light ahead. New growth beginning.
And the PeopleCats are ready🐾.
- 🐱King is back on gate duty - inspecting every vehicle for proper plant-hauling capacity.
- 😺Paisley is rearranging freeze survivors and new arrivals like a design consultant.
- 😼Snitch is supervising recovery efforts from a comfortable chair.
- 😸Persephone is checking under tables for "hidden spring energy."
- 😻Sushi and Loki are preparing for guided garden tours - recovery edition.
This is not just a plant market. This is the spring reset.
👍 Why You Should Come
It is finally warm in Florida. After several nights of hard freeze, some plants survived - and some didn’t. This event is your chance to see real freeze champions in person.
If you lost plants, you are not alone. If you are ready to plant smarter, this is your moment.
Walk the gardens. See proven winter survivors. Discover cold-hardy fruit trees and resilient ornamentals. Get practical advice about replanting after freeze. This is rebuilding - Florida style.

Blue Ice Cream banana youll never find in stores!
Blue Java Banana, Ice Cream Banana
🍌 Blue Ice Cream banana you’ll never find in stores!
- 🔵 The Blue Java Banana, also known as the Ice Cream Banana, is the banana everyone wants - and for good reason.
- 🔵 First of all… it's blue. Yes, really. When the fruit is unripe, it has a frosty blue-green tint - especially striking in the sun. These short, chunky bananas are only about 4 inches long and grow in beautiful bunches under mauve-colored flowers. The whole plant is a tropical showstopper.
- 🔵But the real magic happens when the fruit ripens. The blue fades to yellow… and inside? Oh my God - it’s heaven! The texture is soft, smooth, and creamy. And the flavor? Like vanilla ice cream.
- 🔵That’s how it got the name Ice Cream Banana. And this isn’t just a gimmick - it’s a cold-tolerant, vigorous variety that grows fast, reaches 10-15 feet tall, and produces heavy bunches (up to 60 pounds!) of sweet fruit that you can eat raw or cook with.
- 🔵 Your store-bought bananas can’t compete with this. Add it to your edible landscape, food forest, or patio garden - this one is a must-have! Grab it while it’s in stock. Or if it’s sold out - hit that wishlist button.
