THE GREAT ORCHID SALE – Saturday April 9, 2016 – 10:00 am – 2:00 pm

The San Fernando Valley Orchid Society is pleased to announce it’s first annual Orchid Sale.   This is our major fundraising event of the year and we hope to raise enough funds to pay for our expenses, educational programs and fabulous speakers for the remainder of the year.

This sale is open to the public.   We have managed to procure some really beautiful orchid plants,  most of which are in bud or in bloom.   We were able to get many of them from Hawaii, and the rest are from great California growers.    Our members will be on hand to answer any questions you may have at the show.   We will have a plant hotel to hold your selections until you are ready to check out and take your prized plants home.   We will also be serving light refreshments.     This is a great opportunity to find our more about our society and our friendly and knowledgeable members.

SFVOS Members only:  All members are urged to proudly wear their badge and help out at the sale for as many hours as possible.  You can be a host, greeting prospective buyers and assisting them in selecting plants.  If you find questions you cannot answer, there will be other members who can help. For those of you volunteering to work at the sale we will get our set up started at 9:00 AM.   We need volunteers to help register the buyers and help carry plants to the plant hotel.  We also need a few of you to stay after 2:00 PM to help us clean-up. This is a wonderful opportunity to tell guests about the benefits of membership in our Society:  the educational speakers, the plant opportunity table, and the interchange of ideas and experiences with fellow orchid lovers.  If you have some blooming plants you wish to contribute to the sale please bring them to Ned Daniger’s home:  17351 Nordhoff Street in Northridge on April 7th  between 12:00 noon and 5:00 PM,or you can bring them on the day of the sale, April 9th,  at 9:00 AM to the Sepulveda Garden Center.   This is YOUR opportunity to support our Society.  We look forward to seeing you at the sale!
