May - Saturday, May 20 11:00 am - 3:00 pm - A wonderful visit to Crist Orchids! Member Janet Crist would love to show members her orchids, and the new and different ways she is mounting them. We will also be helping Janet by doing some repotting. Don’t know how to repot an orchid? Don’t worry! On-the-job instruction is freely given! If you have not been out there before, DO NOT MISS this event!! Her greenhouse is spectacular, her knowledge is boundless, and the friendship is divine! Bring lunches/snacks/drinks (and probably a chair, too…), and we’ll relax and enjoy each other’s company. Even if you can’t make it for the full event, please come whenever you can, you will be welcome!!!
