There will be no meeting for the month of April this year. We had a great show this March and so hopefully our friends and members enjoyed that extra orchid time! Our president issued this message to the society recently about the April meeting:

The Bonsai Society is having a two-day show at North Haven (Gardens) which will interfere with our usual meeting day and time for April. There was NO acceptable date available for us to reschedule our normal April meeting. Consequently we will NOT have an April GNTOS meeting.

See you in May!

Last month, we heard how to prepare our orchids for the show so that they’ll look their best. This month, we’ll be learning how to prepare ourselves! Preparing your orchids is only the first step – what do we do when we get them to the show? What other things need to be done to get the show ready? You’ll find out at the March meeting. We’ll be having our usual table judging for members and our raffle, which is open to all.

Orchids 101 will be in the greenhouse at 2pm, and Lorna will be talking about ways you can keep track of your orchid collection.

Our annual Spring Orchid Show and Sale is Saturday and Sunday, March 11-12, opening at 9am at the Texas A&M Agrilife in the Water and Land Resources building on Coit Road. Set-up for the show is Friday, March 10 from 8:30am to 5pm. Click on the above tab for the show to see more details!
