Special Letter to Members about Coronavirus from the Chairman

Dear FSHS Members,

As you are all aware, the 2020 Annual Meeting of the Florida State Horticulture Society was originally scheduled for June 7 – 9, 2020 in Sarasota. 

As the effects of the Covid 19 pandemic continue to unfold and impact every sector of society, it has become apparent that the possibility that the conference could go on safely as scheduled was extremely unlikely.

The Board, working with the conference organizers at ASHS, has reviewed our options for holding the meeting at a later date placing utmost priority on the health and safety of our members.

After careful deliberation, the Board has opted to move the meeting to October 18 -20 at the same venue – the Hyatt Regency Sarasota.

As a result, we have extended the abstract deadline to July 15, 2020. The good news is that as many of us are now working from home, you now have plenty of time to develop and submit your abstract if you missed the previous April 1st deadline. If you have already submitted your abstract and author’s agreement, now is a good time to begin work on your paper.

Early Bird prices for registration will now end Friday, Aug 21, 2020. Refund structure.

  • On or before September 4 = Full refund less a $20 processing fee
  • September 5 through September 18 = 75% refund less a $20 processing fee
  • September 19 through October 9 = 50% refund less a $20 processing fee
  • On or After October 10 = No refund

Members who have already registered for the June meeting will be refunded if they are unable to attend the October meeting. Contact: hhilko@ashs.org Requests for refunds must be received by May 31. 

You can rest assured that as we move forward, the health and safety of our members will be our priority.

Prayers for the safety of you, your families and our nation. Thank you for your understanding and for your continued support for FSHS!
Stay safe and all the best.

Gene McAvoy
Chairman of the Board

Passing of FSHS Honorary Member, Dr. Gene Albrigo

It is with great sadness that we bring FSHS members news of the passing of Dr Gene Albrigo.

It is with great sadness that we bring FSHS members news of the passing of Dr Gene Albrigo.

As some of you have heard by now, Dr. Albrigo passed away over the weekend surrounded by his family. We are saddened by this loss and will never forget all the important contributions Dr. Albrigo made in advancing the science of citrus production during his long tenure at the CREC.

Dr. Albrigo was a member and longtime supporter of the Florida State Horticultural Society, and headed our Sponsor program for many years.

Dr. Albrigo, along with Drs. Lukasz Stelinki and Pete Timmer, recently released their updated book, Citrus: Second Edition, published by CABI in 2019 (CABI, Boston, MA). Dr. Albrigo also spearheaded several online decision support systems of great value to citrus growers, such as DISC, and the Citrus Flowering Monitor.

Dr. Albrigo truly made an impact not only on the Florida citrus industry, but also citrus industries around the world. He will be missed and never forgotten for his dedication to the Florida Citrus Industry.

There will be a memorial service for Dr. Albrigo on Friday Feb 21, 2020 from 2-4 PM at Baldwin Brothers Funeral Home, 620 Dunlawton Ave., Port Orange FL 32127. For more information:
