February Meeting: Beth Bishop
"Growing Orchids in the Home"
The Beltsville Garden Club will hold a general meeting on Wednesday, February 24th 2010, at 7:30 PM in the cafeteria of the James E. Duckworth School, 11201 Evans Trail, Beltsville, Maryland. Our guest speaker for this month is BETH BISHOP with a
hands-on session about "GROWING ORCHIDS IN THE HOME. Besides giving hints on buying good quality healthy plants. Ms. Bishop invites members and guests to bring orchids in need of TLC for problem analysis and repotting. She has graciously agreed to repot up to twenty (20) plants. Members will be given priority and are asked to limit themselves to one plant. If too few plants are available, then the one-only limit may be relaxed. She will bring potting medium, and members are asked to bring their own pots. Ms. Bishop will also be bringing several types of orchids for sale.
Beth Bishop is a professional grower who has been with Arbec Orchids since 1997 and exhibited at the National Capital Orchid Society shows.
Please join us for this informative speaker. We will have plants for the door prize table and refreshments after the meeting. The public is welcomed and admission is free.
