FANN to hold 2025 Native Plant Seminar at Stetson University in DeLand

Stetson University's regal Palm Court, where ancient Sabals tower upward. No Phoenix palms need apply.

FANN is excited to hold our third annual NATIVE PLANT SEMINAR for horticulture and landscape professionals at Stetson University in Deland, Florida, on Wednesday and Thursday, November 5-6, 2025. The Stetson campus demonstrates the value of shade in a hot land thanks to enormous Live Oaks, Shumard Oaks, Bald Cypress, Sabals and more. FANN appreciates the native dominant landscape. The campus was selected by Southern Living magazine as one of the most beautiful college campuses in the South, due to the abundance of trees and other vegetation and the historic red brick buildings. Stetson University was founded in 1883 and yes, it’s named for the same Stetson of the big cowboy hat fame (alumni are referred to as Hatters). FANN will be crafting a native tree-heavy program and plenty of opportunities to relax and network with the native plant industry. Watch for details at FANNseminar.com and plan to stay an extra day — downtown DeLand has a truly charming, historic vibe.
