GAOS August 10 Meeting Info



This month we will be showcasing different grow spaces, growing conditions and growing tips & tricks from our very own members.

There are so many different ways to successfully grow the orchids that we love. There is no ‘one size fits all’ rule that will guarantee success, we all approach it differently. We will present how several members grow their orchids in their home.

Feel free to contribute, send us photos of your grow areas to our email: [email protected] or bring them to the meeting to share with us.
