Trying the first Saturday meeting date again. Hopefully this works out for everyone.

We were trying to schedule for the annual seed starting meeting, but the covid pandemic has made that impossible.

Instead we will be having a discussion of the ICPS World Carnivorous Plant Day (Which is going on right now, check their Facebook page!)
We will also be making time of a general discussion of all things carnivorous.

Please contact for the meeting link, as this one will be on zoom

The time has come, if you are daring, to crawl out of the bunkers, haz-mat containment areas and face the burning orb of nuclear fire. In an effort to reintegrate back into society, or what ever is left of it, we will be having an in person social meeting.

The social meeting will be Sunday 8/8. The usual time of 3:00 pm.

We are starting the “Lazy Gardner” series tomorrow, now that I have confirmed with the presenter.

Brian will be leading a discussion of the various media that we can grow our lovelies in. Expect a round table format. Anyone with expertise is more than welcome to weigh in and discuss what works, and what does not.

The meeting will be tomorrow Sunday 7/11 via Zoom. The usual time of 3:00 pm. Contact us for the meeting link.
No clue when the meeting venue will be reopened for in person meetings. Being a government building, I suspect that it will be one of the last to reopen.

Correction, the meeting is 5/16 … Sunday.

Outdoor Bog Gardening!

Yes, the meeting is tomorrow. We had a lot of fun scheduling this, as the hoped for speaker had a conflict come up at the last minute.

Jumi has just put together an outdoor bog garden and will be leading a discussion about them. Since she has just put this together, it will be more of a round table. Anyone with expertise is more than welcome to weigh in and discuss what works, and what does not.

The meeting will be tomorrow Sunday 5/16 via Zoom. The usual time of 3:00 pm. Contact us for the meeting link.
Looks like the CDC is relaxing the rules, so we may be able to meet in person again! Much of that is going to depend on the venue.

We are just planning on a general hang, no topic defined. It will be nice to connect with real humans again!

Plant and Seed Sources.

Usually we do our seed starting meeting this time of year. Sadly with the pandemic, that is not going to happen. So we are going to have a meeting about where to source seeds and plant.
The meeting will start with me (Bill) bringing up the usual suspects.
Being more of a round table, bring your sources. Places you would never deal with again.

We will also be discussing group orders from overseas again. All the vendors we have ordered from previously. How many plants we can order, now that vehicle costs have plummeted!

The meeting will be Sunday 3/14 via Zoom. The usual time of 3:00 pm. Contact us for the meeting link.
