Jacob Knecht Talks about Favorite Orchids and Growing under Lights

       Jacob Uluwehi Knecht has been mesmerized by plants for as long as he can remember and his passion for orchids species began at age 11. He has worked in landscape architecture, wholesale and retail nursery operations and is now pursuing his 
dream of studying botany and growing the plants he loves most. 
He has grown orchids in Hawaii, southern California and for the past three years, in Berkeley, California. His collection is focused on his favourite group of orchids, the angraecoids, as well as colourful Dendrobium and other vandaceous species all grown between four different growing environments.       

April’s plant table will be a “Grab Bag” drawing. Each ticket will cost $10 - $12. 
You are guaranteed to win a plant
