Flagstaff Garden Club

Orchids, hundreds of them, will be the focus of the first meeting in 2007 of the Flagstaff Garden Club at 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 3. Deb James has lined up this program at the NAU Biology Greenhouse on north campus. J.J. Callan will show us hundreds of orchids that he is growing, and demonstrate for us how to correctly divide and repot them. J.J. says that the caretaker of the greenhouse will be available as well to answer questions about all the other plants in the greenhouse. In addition, the greenhouse has a small pond, and a 3-barrel system with a recirculating pump. They will explain their set up to us if we are interested.

Did you know that two orchids grow wild in Northern Arizona?

Directions to the NAU Biology Greenhouse #18 A on the campus map: Go south on Beaver Street past South Beaver School, and through the stop sign at Franklin. At the end of the building on your right is a small parking lot. Turn in there, and you will be facing the greenhouse. Enter the greenhouse at the northeast entrance. A sign will be on the door that says "Flagstaff Garden Club."

Any questions, please call Deb James at 527 0750.
