Meeting:
Bring plants for show and tell
Auction? I believe we will have one – but we are
still checking. So if you don’t want to
carry them for nothing please check with one of us before the meeting.
Tim
has been growing orchids since 1993 as a hobbyist, and commercially since early
1997 when he began working for Chadwick and Son Orchids outside of Richmond VA.
He is now working for Eden Hill Greenhouse, a family business..
Eden
Hill Greenhouse was established in 1986 by Pete Volas as a wholesale commercial
greenhouse producing flowering plants year round. With 18,000 sq. ft. of greenhouses, we produce everything from
hanging baskets and spring annuals to cyclamen, orchids and poinsettias. This year (2002), we opened our facilities
to retail customers and hope to further expand our retail business.
Orchids
were added to production in early 1999 by Tim Volas and have slowly been taking
over the greenhouse they are grown in. We have a good selection of Oncidium
Intergenerics and Mini-Catts and have begun acquiring species, Paphs., Bulbos.,
and other misc. genera.
He
will be bringing plants. You will need
to call him to check on availability and to make sure that the plants you are
after are brought to the meeting.

Orchid List
I
have listed orchids types that I have at least 4 plants of in stock. I will take reservations of plants by your
Society members on a first come-first serve basis by date and time. I am giving
the same talk to the Michianna Orchid Society Sept. 14, so I may sell out of
some varieties. I will be bringing plants to the meeting that I have not listed
as well.
Eden
Hill’s Orchid Mix: Composed of coir
(chopped coconut husk), charcol, and fire expanded clay, this mix provides a
good balance of air exchange to moisture retention and breaks down slowly. Works well on all genera. 1 gal. bags $5.00 ea.

Special Event:
I believe that John has arranged for all of
our members to attend this event if they would like to do so. We should have more information at the
meeting. Mark your calendars.
On November 14, 2002, Don Fordyce will be
visiting Grand Rapids, Michigan at the Fredric Meijers Gardens. This is the monthly meeting for the Grand
Valley Orchid Society.
Mr. Fordyce is known worldwide for his
contributions in the cattleya field, especially compact, mini-hybrids. He speaks at many of the major orchid shows
across the country.
As we are lucky enough to get Don into
Grand Rapids to speak, we would like to offer an invitation to your society to
attend as well. We would like everybody
to have the chance to see a speaker of this importance to the modern orchid
enthusiast.
It will be in Grand Rapids, Michigan, at
Fredric Meijer Gardens at 7:00 PM.
Elections!
This is an election year and everyone
should think about running for office. Anyone with an interest in
running should let it be known. Nominations will be taken.
Note: The Treasurer's position is open and will need to be filled.
