There are picnic tables at the facility, but we encourage you to bring your own folding chairs if you would like some<\/span>thing a bit more comfortable. Feel free to bring yard games for a bit of competitive sport!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since we are not holding a regular meeting with a speaker this <\/span>month<\/span> we are <\/span>planning on<\/span> holding a plant swap! Bring <\/span>along your<\/span> extra division<\/span>s<\/span> or plant<\/span>s<\/span> to swap. Orchids are prolific <\/span>growers<\/span> and <\/span>we<\/span> always have a few extra divisions sitting around taking up space. This is a chance to <\/span>open up<\/span> some space for something new in your collection. <\/span>So<\/span> join the summer fun and swap a plant!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There will be a show table, so d<\/span>on’t forget to bring along your blooming plants for this month’s show table. It’s always exciting to see what’s coming into bloom, looking forward to an awesome show table!<\/span><\/p>\n

Please print and fill out the ID card for the show table below \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n
