Upcoming Meetings & Events:
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15th - Monthly Meeting
MEETING CANCELLED
Due to the Stay-at-Home order, our April 15th meeting is cancelled. The Arboretum is closed until the end of April and at this time our May meeting is uncertain as well.
Please stay safe and keep checking our website and Facebook page for updates...
The newsletter will be coming out with information about BBOD and some information to keep you in touch with your orchids. Also to help keep you in touch is some information about what you can find on the American Orchid Society website, even if you are not a member of the AOS. This is aimed at our new members that might not know where to look now that they are a member but do not have a meeting to go to to ask questions. All I can say is, "don't give up!" There is a lot of information about orchids and you won't learn it all at once. Even our long time members learn something new, or a different way of doing something. Keep at it, don't get discouraged, search different websites & YouTube now that you might have more time to do so.

AOS website instructions:
Go to the white banner that has American Orchid Society across it along with the "Member-Sign In." Just below that there are topics: About Us, All About Orchids, Orchid Awards & Judging, Shop, News & Events, and Blog. Go to the "All About Orchids" and look at the different information they have available, there are: Culture Sheets, Seasonal Care, Webinars & Greenhouse Chat, Orchids A to Z, and, Orchid Pests & Diseases just to name a few. If you go down the main page until you come to a large green banner there you will find different topics, click on "Webinars" and look for the ones that are available to non-members. Have fun exploring, and learning 😀
