Doors Open: 6:45pm
Venice Community Center
Speaker: Jim Roberts
Topic: Summertime and the Growin’ is Easy
Jim Roberts owns and operates Florida SunCoast Orchids in Myakka City, FL. He has been a regular speaker at our monthly meetings and a long time participating vendor in our annual orchid shows. Jim has been growing orchids over 25 years in climates ranging from cold Minnesota to hot SW Florida. In 2001, he moved to Florida with a small collection of plants and the dream of operating an orchid nursery became a reality. He grows his beauties in three gutter connected greenhouses encompassing 10,000 square feet of growing space. As always, he strives to grow and sell the best quality orchid plants and to build a lasting reputation in the industry as one of the very best.
Jim’s presentation topic, Summertime and the Growin’ is Easy, will focus on growing orchids outside in our hot summers and will be of interest to both our year-round and seasonal residents.
