This program is a three-part SERIES FOR THE MORE SERIOUS ORCHID GROWER
WHO HAS GONE BEYOND THE BEGINNER’s stage. CLASSES MEET ONE SATURDAY
PER MONTH FROM 9:00 TO 11:30AM. SCHEDULE:
FEBRUARY 22: During It’s All in the Flower, features of orchid
flowers and associations with pollinator partners are explored, as
well as relationships between different orchid species and genera.
MARCH 21: Growing Orchids in Tune with Nature centers on how different
orchids grow in their environments and how that translates into
growing practices. Orchid partnerships with fungi, in addition to
orchid pests and Integrated Pest Management are also discussed.
APRIL 18: At the Potting & Troubleshooting Workshop, participants who
have a concern about their plants are encouraged to bring in one or
two of their ORCHIDS FOR A DIAGNOSIS. Problems are addressed,
including the need for repotting. After a repotting demonstration,
ORCHIDS ARE SUPPLIED FOR THE CLASS TO REPOT, which they take home.
ORCHIDS WHICH HAVE PARTICULAR ISSUES IN THE GREENHOUSE MAY ALSO BE
EXAMINED.
_Space is limited, and advance registration is required. Please arrive
at the Orientation Center at least 20 minutes early because the van
leaves for the Orchid Range promptly at 9:00am. Dress in layers; the
greenhouses are warm. Dress apropos to repotting orchids for the
Workshop._
