San Diego Fern Society Meeting
Programs
|
| July | On Thursday, July 18, the Fern Society will have a barbecue in Chuck Ades backyard. Chuck will provide the barbecue and the tables. Participants need to bring their own something to barbecue (or just something to eat if you don't wish to barbecue) and something to drink. The meeting will start at 6:30 instead of 7:30 so that we can have time for a guided tour of the garden. |
| August | Thursday, August 15, will be a work and fun party where we get an early start on the annual show. Members are heartily encouraged to bring in their show plants and get tips on grooming and identification. We can also use the time to get tables ready for the show and to get sales plants tagged. Even if you have no plants in the show, there will be a chance to learn about plant names and good fern grooming habits. |
| September | Thursday, September 19, Bob Manthorne will be down to talk to us about growing ferns on rocks. Bob has shown many wonderful rock and fern creations at the LAIFS shows over the years and this is a good time to learn how he does that. By the way, Bob is also an expert on Davallias, so bring your Davallia questions with you. |
| October | Thursday, October 17, Serge Zimberoff will join us to talk about his successful nursery operation and will share tips on growing ferns. Serge will also talk about how he uses tissue culture to strt with one fern and ends up with thousands of exact duplicates. |
| November | Thursday, November 21, Loren Batchman, former member of SDFS and long-time grower of orcids, will present a discussion on growing Cymbidium orchids. |
