Glasgow Monthly Meeting

June Meeting: Behind the Scenes at Glasgow Botanic Gardens.

If you were not able to join the tour of ‘Behind the Scenes of the Orchid Collection’ at the recent Orchid Fair, you now have another opportunity as Christine Nicholson will open up the areas not open to the public and take you round. Learn about orchid pollination and see the propagation laboratory and visit the three temperature controlled glasshouses where the Gardens grow and care for the collection. Also, depending on time constraints there might be an opportunity to see a presentation on the recent Orchid Fair and we are also hoping to have a small plant sale.

General Information

Our meetings in Glasgow can consist of an illustrated talk or practical sessions where you can learn aspects of orchid cultivation under the guidance of our resident experts who will also be happy to answer your queries on orchid cultivation and/or pest and disease control. We usually have a table show of members’ plants with plenty of opportunities to socialise and exchange ideas. Refreshments are available. Why not come along and see what we have to offer. Your first meeting is free. Doors open from 1:30pm.
