Next DVOS Meeting

Doors open at 6:30 pm for Show & Tell setup and conversations

 

Join us for our next meeting as we ditch the formal lecture for a lively, community-led discussion:

“I Just Got a New Orchid…Now What?”

Owner: Kathy Barrett

Brassavola Little Stars   Judges Choice at DVOS Feb 2026 Show & Sale

Featuring Guest Panelists: Jim Wert & Pat Bacchetti

Our very own Jim and Pat will be kicking things off by pulling back the curtain on their personal growing spaces. They’ll be sharing what they typically look for when purchasing a plant and what they do with it when it comes home with them.

After Jim and Pat share their approach, we’re opening the floor to you. ​If you’ve been struggling with a plant or have just bought one at a show recently and don’t know where to start, feel free to ask your questions: No question is too basic! You’re also free to share your success stories as well as how you managed to successfully grow a difficult plant.

​Whether you’ve been growing for 20 minutes or 20 years, come ready to chat, laugh, and learn at our next meeting!

 

Due to not having a guest speaker this month, there will not be a scheduled speaker dinner.
