Next Meeting: Thursday 11 ^th September 7:30pm
 "Give it a Rest"  by Marni Turkel

Many plants receive a dry rest period in their native habitat.  This talk explores some of the factors involved. Learn a bit about weather patterns and the “make it or break it” effect a dry rest period can have on growth and flowering of particular species. You’ll see some plants that many people find hard to bloom and find out how to get a great blooming by giving them what they need.

Marni Turkel is a native of the S. F. Bay Area and has been growing orchids since 1980.  She grows an uncountable number of plants in a wide range of genera in her three Santa Rosa greenhouses.  She has a special interest in cool-growing miniature species.

Marni is also a working potter with 40 years of experience. She handcrafts vases, orchid planters and a variety of other containers at her studio, Stony Point Ceramic Design.  She will be having her Annual Open House  and Pottery Sale on Saturday, September 27 ^th, 10 am - 3 pm  2080 Llano Rd #1B, Santa Rosa.
