Celebrate orchids at the OSSB wrap up meeting for 2024.  Bring your favorite holiday treats (Yay treats!!) to share.  Also bring any questions you have about your orchid growing problems for a Q & A with our local orchid experts.  We will recap the year’s programs and give a look forward to our program plans for 2025, including both live and streamed talks and practical potting demonstrations.
