News NOS Monthly meeting at 2:30 pm Saturday, April 13 at Superior Perkins next to the Bong Memorial

Hello Orchid Folks, I hope you are all doing well and have been enjoying some growth and/or blooms on some of your orchids as they respond to longer daylight hours. It is a thrill! We will be meeting at the Superior Perkins April 13th at 2:30. Bring plants in bloom for sale or show! It is always amazing to see the orchids and to pick up some tips on how they are grown.

The DGFS Plant Sale at the Rose Garden parking lot is Saturday May 25th, rain or shine. We will have tables if folks want to participate. Sales start at 8am sharp and are usually wrapping up around 9:30. Sale items include orchid divisions, perennials, annuals, house plants and anything garden or plant related. The NOS gets 15% of sales as this is a fundraiser for us. So get any divisions potted up, and think about what you might bring to sell!

If you are down in Mpls April 20th, the OSM is having Gary Meyer from Colombia Orchid Imports. He will speak about draculas and lycastes at Bachmans Heritage room from 1-3pm. They are a great group to visit and learn from! If any of you gardeners want a tour of the WLSSD compost making facility, the DGFS has made arrangements for May 6th at 5:30 pm. Let me know and I will forward the info so they can plan. We would meet at WLSSD at 5:30. It will be good to see you Saturday! Start thinking about what you may have to divide or sell at the Sale! It will soon be upon us... Best wishes, Gary

Best wishes, Gary
