"Potting, Grooming and More!"
an Interactive Workshop with Joel Egan
​
Let’s get our hands dirty! This month we
will have an exciting and interactive
program where we will have demonstrations
of various potting and repotting methods,
grooming techniques for growing and
showing gesneriads, and examples of the
products we use to maintain the health of
our plants and keep them free of pests. Lots
of plant materials will be on display, as well
as potting products and fertilizers/pest
management products. Come with lots of
questions and comments to help make this
program interactive and informative for all.
Come learn how to get your plants to live
their best lives! This program is not to be
missed!
​
As usual, we'll have coffee/refreshments, a
fantastic sales plant, a judged Little Show,
raffle, education, camaraderie and more.
Guests are welcome. Hope to see you then
