Next Meeting -- October 11, 2022
Kokedamas -- UPDATE
ANDREA NEEDS TO KNOW BY TODAY (THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6) IF YOU PLAN ON PARTICIPATING. PLEASE EMAIL HER TODAY .(tazzette55@gmail.com)
At our October meeting we will have a Kokedama class (Japanese Moss Ball). Kokedama is a century old Japanese form of garden art that is closely tied to the practice of bonsai.
A donation in the amount of $5.00 is requested which will cover the cost of the twine, sheet moss, and bowl.
Participants need to bring a small orchid to create the Kokedama. A limited number of small NOID dendrobiums will be available at a cost of $6.00 for those who don’t have a small orchid to bring.
Please email Andrea (tazzette55@gmail.com)by Friday, October 7, if you will be participating in the class so that she can have the exact amount of supplies available.
Check the Kokedamas out in our Orchid Room!
Monthly Meetings
About Us
Our meetings are normally on the 2nd Tuesday of every month at 1:00 p.m. at the Port St. Lucie Botanical Gardens except for:
May (Annual Picnic)
July and August (Vacation)
December (Holiday Luncheon).
Our meetings are venues for information sharing and interaction with professional growers and speakers as well as classes. Meetings include “Show and Tell” for members to show off their blooming orchids, raffles, orchid exchanges, and refreshments. Meetings frequently include an educational workshop starting at noon. We have an annual picnic, holiday luncheon, and a large orchid show. which is sanctioned and judged by the American Orchid Society.
Membership is open to anyone who has an interest in orchids, regardless of an individual's level of expertise. We believe that we should "pay it forward," taking what has been taught to us and sharing our knowledge with others, both within the Society and with the general public.
We invite you to join us and learn about orchids.
If you’re a member of our Facebook group, post pictures of your blooming orchids (https://www.facebook.com/groups/PSLOS/).
