Proud we are, to have our Atlanta Branch represented at the American Begonia Society

Today, during it's annual meeting, ABS installed Stuart Price as national President, and Jennifer Ruscilli as Secretary for the upcoming two-year term.

We look forward to more excitement and contribution - and representation - at the national level - from these two very active local members.

Heads-up to ABS Members - this excellent virtual educational presentation.

Heads-up to ABS Members - this excellent virtual educational presentation.

Just over a week to go! ABS is excited to host a Zoom program, “The botanical wonders of Begonia dregei” presented by Gene Tobia and Alison Racey on Saturday, September 13, 12pm EST.

Gene and Alison will walk us through the intricacies of successful growing and showing of these beautiful plants.

About the presenters:
Gene lives in New Jersey and has been growing plants since a young age. He has showcased his plants at the Philly Flower Show since 2008, including his famous Begonia dregei hybrids. He will share his expertise on cultivating show-worthy begonias, including plant culture, pruning, and grooming for exhibition.

Alison is based in Hampshire, UK and has a passion for growing plants from seed. She was first exposed to Begonia dregei at a cactus and succulent nursery and it quickly became her favorite houseplant. She has started hybridizing Begonia dregei for interesting leaves and growth habits. Alison launched a page on this topic: The Dregei Tree.

NOTE: This is an American Begonia Society members-only event.
If you have not yet joined the ABS and are interested in attending this program, please see the membership tab on the ABS website, https://www.begonias.org/membership/join/.
