About the Greater NY Gesneriad Society

​

Our Meetings

​

Our monthly meetings feature an educational program or lecture, a judged Little Show, a Sales Table, hospitality, and the latest news in the Gesneriad community.

​

The Plant Sales Table is stocked and run by donors. Plants are very reasonably priced, and all proceeds support the society. Best of all, our knowledgeable members are on-hand to answer questions and give you growing tips. Donations to the plant sales table (plants, cuttings, rhizomes/tubers, all pest-free and properly labeled) are always welcome.

​

The monthly Little Show is a great opportunity to show off your best specimens and learn about how gesneriads are judged. Please bring a well-grown, pest-free plant to enter - you never know, you might win a blue ribbon! 

​

Our Hospitality Table features fresh coffee and tasty treats. All donations are very greatly appreciated, whether it's a few dollars to offset costs or a plate of home-baked cookies.

​

Our Publications

​

In addition to our meetings, each month we publish a newsletter, Glox News.  

We welcome contributions! Send articles, photos, questions, requests, suggestions, cultural questions or any requests for plants or supplies your editor at piabinha@yahoo.com. Deadline is always two weeks before meeting date.
