MONTHLY ORCHID JUDGING

MOS member Melissa Garner is currently enrolled in the American Orchid Society judging program and visits the judging center in St. Louis about once a month (typically on the 2nd Saturday of the month).

If you have an orchid you would like to have considered for AOS judging, please contact Melissa to find out when she is going and to coordinate plant drop-off and pickup.  Plants must be dropped off by 7 p.m. the evening prior to the judging date.
