Things I’m Glad I Learned by Marni Turkel

Orchid books, and more recently the internet, have a lot of information, but much of the knowledge that I value has come from asking orchid growers and friends, listening to presentations at society meetings as well as a lot of trial and error. This has helped me become a better grower. I love to share some of these insights with others in the hope that it will allow them to get more pleasure from orchid growing. This is a somewhat informal presentation to be followed up with a question and answer period. Many growers, especially new growers, are afraid to ask a question because it might be a “stupid” question. Go ahead and ask. You are probably not the only person who wants to hear the answer. Some answers to my questions have made me ask myself “It’s so obvious why didn’t I think of that”The fact is, I didn’t think of it and I am really glad I asked.

Marni Turkel (pronounced tur KELL) is a native of the San Francisco Bay Area and has been growing orchids since 1980. She bought a house and moved to Santa Rosa in 1985 because her landlord in Mill Valley wouldn’t let her have a greenhouse. She grows in four greenhouses in Santa Rosa with approximately 1250 sq ft of growing space. She shares pictures of orchids and her knowledge on Facebook and Instagram.

New members and guests don’t need to bring anything!
