Upcoming & Past Meetings
Meetings are normally held the second Monday of each month with the exception of July and August. Meetings typically run from 7:00pm-9:00pm. Our meetings feature informative programs, guest speakers, orchid exhibits, plant raffles, and sales. One Meeting each year features a special auction. The auction is a chance for members to sell their extra plants and to bid on new ones to add to their collection.
Meetings are free and open to the public, however we encourage you to sign up for a membership to support the society and receive all the benefits the society has to offer.

Topic: Artificial Lighting, Simplified
The boom of new, effective, and inexpensive grow lights has filled many hobbyists with an excitement to expand their growing area into previously unusable spaces. However, the technology and terms behind these grow lights has created an equally large flood of confusion about "which light is right?" This talk explains how to navigate this newer method of growing without all the confusing terms and graphs. We also discuss several ways to use your new lights, ranging from organized, efficient setups to aesthetic, home-grown displays.
