The speaker at our April meeting will talk about orchid pests –like the dreaded brown scale in this photo. The formal meeting starts at 2 pm in Room 5, Royal Botanical Gardens, 680 Plains Road W., Burlington, Ontario, but you are invited to arrive any time after 1 pm to socialize and interact with vendors.  Members and guests welcome.

A team composed of Gavin Clark, Frank Washburn, Rob Vanderheyden, Wendy Hearder-Moan, and Heather Detheridge (and a friend of hers) travelled to London to create a display that ultimately was judged to be the best of the Society displays. Credit goes to the fine plants that were provided by our members, winning ribbons as follows:
