The Malibu Orchid Society in the Palisades is delighted to welcome back George Hatfield as our speaker on June 19that
the Pacific Palisades Woman’s Club at 7:00 pm. Mr. Hatfield will be speaking on the culture of Cymbidium Orchids, a topic
that he is eminently qualified to address as he has produced some of the finest award winning cymbidiums in the country.
George is considered by many as one of the premier hybridizer of cymbidiums in the country that focuses on the development of high quality and award winning cymbidiums. He is the owner of Hatfield Orchids, a nursery initiated in 2005 in Ventura County that specializes in cymbidiums. His cymbidiums have been recognized with countless American Orchid Society (AOS) and Cymbidium Society of America (CSA) awards.
George Hatfield is the immediate past President of the American Orchid Society . He holds a Bachelor of Science in Plant and Soil Science from California State Polytechnic University. George is a well-known speaker who is active in the Cymbidium Society of America , as well as with several Southern California regional orchid organizations.
He serves as orchid judge for both the CSA and AOS, and is currently the Chairman of the Santa Barbara judging region for
the CSA. George is also a past-president of the CSA and was the Chairman of the CSA Cymbidium Congress from 1998-2001 and president of the Santa Barbara International Orchid Show in 2002 & 2003.
Bring all your questions about how to grow bountiful blooming cymbidiums. Here is your chance to ask those questions from a master Cymbidium grower. George has kindly agreed to provide the plants for our opportunity table.
Light refreshments will be served. All are welcome!
