Event Details

Join us at our November meeting to hear Jay Norris speak on terrarium culture with orchids.  See his award-winning Wardian cases and how they are set up.  More importantly, learn which orchids can be grown successfully this way.  Jay will be bringing orchid supplies from Ravenvision: an opportunity to replenish all your potting needs.

The meeting will be a hybrid meeting. We will have the usual Show Table, raffle and refreshments with a longer break to accommodate our “Growing Together” sessions and provide opportunity to visit our “Ask Me Anything” experts and Ravenvision.  Members, please bring your plants to the show table by 1:40 pm to allow time for judging.
