The Cultural Study Group is the best bargain in town. For only $2.00 a year,
beginners and experienced growers alike meet once a month to learn how to
grow orchids. All CFOS members are welcome to join the Group. Meetings are
held at 7:00 p.m. on the first Thursday of the month at Leu Gardens.
Directions
Each
meeting features a program such as Heating Greenhouses, Misting Systems,
Staking Flower Spikes, or Orchid Diseases and Pests. Members are encouraged
to bring "problem" plants so the experts can offer advice and use them as a
teaching tools for all the members. There is also a plant table at each
meeting so members can share their healthy blooming plants. Occasionally,
the group works together at meetings to divide and repot plants.
Activities outside the meetings include field trips such as repotting
orchids for UCF and offering potting assistance to new vendors. Members of
the group also volunteer to grow small plants at home which will be used for
future auctions.
The Cultural Study Group has an annual holiday party and plant exchange
in December. This group really knows how to have fun because an annual
picnic is a tradition also. The members are good cooks as well as good
orchid growers!
