The Sam McFaddin Mallow Garden is now in full bloom. The bulk of the garden was donated by Dr. Sam McFadden, retired from the University of Florida, who now spends his time developing Hibiscus varieties which bloom July through frost. The Mallow plant family includes cotton, okra, hibiscus, holly hock, and the wild mallow (which is native to West Tennessee).

Come visit the garden today! Golf Carts are available for tours as needed for no additional charge.

Everyone is invited to hear and meet David and his family on this occasion.

David’s parents, Allan and Joan Eubanks, went to Thailand in the mid sixties under the auspices of the Christian Church and have been among the most effective missionary evangelists in that country. David thus grew up in Thailand and after a stint as a Ranger Special Forces officer felt God calling him to do tough things for Him.

The Free Burma Rangers train teams to provide relief work to the oppressed and persecuted Hill Tribes of Burma. Part of the work of the Rangers is to document the atrocities of the Burmese government that has had a brutal autocratic system for over fifty years.

Because of the dramatic humanitarian efforts of the Rangers, David was invited to the White House by Laura Bush to discuss his organization and the plight of the Hill Tribes of Burma.

You will be thrilled and inspired as David and his family tell of their work in the jungles of Burma.
