\"\"<\/a>If you have received what looks like an expensive and difficult plant for Christmas and don’t want to kill it . . .<\/p>\n

If you have a hard time negotiating books on orchids with conflicting and tricky information. . . .<\/p>\n

If you don’t know a Phalaeonopsis from a Dendrobium . . .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Hi! I’m a Phalaenopsis. Some people call me the moth orchid. If you only have one or two orchids you have probably met my family. <\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

\n

These classes are for you! not only that, but the price is right! They’re free!<\/p>\n

\n

If I sound overly enthusiastic, I am. last year when I was a complete novice, I went to Gary’s Saturday classes and I never felt stupid despite the incredible wealth of information contained in the people there and especially Gary himself. The classes are pleasant and thorough and whether or not you can even pronounce the names, drop in, pick up a handout, bring in a plant with problems and gain some basic information about these fascinating plants.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Starting tomorrow January 18 at 10am, Rochelle will present the first of seven weekly classes on orchid care. Rochelle teaches all Tuesday classes and Gary Gethen leads\u00a0 Saturday morning classes beginning this Saturday at 10am.<\/p>\n

Everyone is welcome to drop in on any of these classes. They are all free but donations are welcome and appreciated. It takes a lot of work to put these together. Classes involve demonstrations, handouts and ongoing Q & A.<\/p>\n

The schedule is as follows<\/p>\n

Jan 18 & 22<\/strong> – Orchid Care & facts – fertilizers and pesticides and Phalaenopsis<\/em><\/p>\n

Jan 25 & 29 <\/strong>– Full Sun Orchids & Dendrobiums<\/em><\/p>\n

Feb 1 & 5<\/strong> – Oncidiums & their Alliance<\/em><\/p>\n

Feb 8 & 12 <\/strong>– Cattelya & their Alliance<\/em><\/p>\n
