PSLOS Meeting -- March 17, 2025 -- PSLBG
12:00 Noon -- Orchid Niche Workshop
This year we are excited to have three different size niche boxes at our 2025 annual show. We will still have our two 8 inch boxes and our one 12 inch box, but we will also have a new 18 inch box. Entries will be judged for each category
Lee and Laurie will discuss the mechanics on how to create a niche arrangement and will also demonstrate creating an arrangement. This will be especially helpful for members who have never created one before. Hope everyone will sign up to create a niche arrangement this year!
1:15 -- Cork Mounting Workshop
The March meeting will feature a workshop on mounting orchids on cork. Cork is a fantastic way to grow and show off your orchids.
If you wish to participate in the workshop, there are still cork mounts remaining for the workshop. It will be first come, first served for those who haven't paid $6.00. Alternatively, you can contact Laurie Wade at mrmush@comcast.net if you want one set aside for you. Cash or check only please, and don't forget to bring an orchid to mount.

WHO WE ARE
About Us
Our meetings are held on the 3rd Monday of every month at 1:00 p.m. at the Port St. Lucie Botanical Gardens except for:
April (Annual Retreat)
July and August (Summer Break)
December (Holiday Recognition 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/).
