African violets have long been the favorite of all houseplants. Their seasonless blooming adds beauty to our lives and their ease of care make growing them rewarding.
The Albuquerque African Violet Club was formed to promote interest and provide education for people interested in African violets. We meet the second Tuesday of most months at 1:00 at the Albuquerque Garden Center and we welcome visitors!

Many of you know that we aren't having our regular spring show & sale this year we because we will be hosting the African Violet Society of America's (AVSA) NATIONAL CONVENTION here in Albuquerque at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. I can't tell you how excited we are or how hard we're working for this convention! I would like to personally invite you to attend our convention in June!
At convention, you will see African violets like you have never seen anywhere else and have the opportunity to meet some of the best growers and violets from all over our country, as well as other countries (such as Canada, Russia & Japan).
The dates are May 29 through June 5, 2016. Presentations from the experts will be from June 1st through the 4th. The show room and vendor room (yes! African violet vendors will be here from all over the country!) will be open on June 3rd and 4th.
