Tom Buchanan will speak on
“Controlling and Eliminating Orchid Pests”
In some cases you will see your orchids dying for no apparent reason. Rest assured there is a culprit; it’s just a matter of finding what it is and learning how to control it. Tom’s presentation will help you understand what signs to look for when identifying the various orchid pests. He will also show you how to investigate and treat common orchid pests.
Prior to joining MOS five years ago, Tom Buchanan had his own contracting building firm. Now in his retirement years, Tom has built himself a well-planned greenhouse in Santa Monica that makes the most of his space where he enjoys growing some of the more unusual and challenging orchid species. He has had a real talent for growing the $7.50 specials offered by Santa Barbara Orchid Estates into Ribbon-winning specimen plants.
Come join us this month to hear this excellent and highly in demand speaker.
Light refreshments will be served and all are welcome!
