Just in time for transition from outdoor to indoor gardening, we are offering our members the opportunity to:

• Reduce any oversupply of plants that spent the summer outdoors, potted and prep'd for overwintering indoors
• Replace undesired potted plants for others, through swapping
• Purchase potted plants to brighten indoor living spaces
• Admire the plants on display by our members

Tonight's speaker invites us to dive into the enchanting world of indoor flowering plants. Her presentation will focus on orchids and other stunning bloomers. We will gain insights into their care, blooming cycles, and tips for creating our own flourishing indoor gardens filled with color and fragrance.

Kiki Alwan is a traveling floral and horticultural designer, specializing in creating living green walls, terrariums, and dish gardens. She enjoys teaching people how to care for their tropical plants and guiding them in creating their own unique bouquets and arrangements.

Tonight's guest speaker is planning to attend the meeting in-person. Should inclement weather prevent her from traveling to Richmond Hill, a live video broadcast of her remote participation will be projected onto a large screen in the auditorium.
