The 15th Annual Greater Lansing Orchid Society Orchid Show will be held on February 28 and March 1 in the Plant and Soil Science Conservatory on the campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing. There will be several hundred orchids on display from orchid societies and commercial vendors, and of course lots and lots of orchids for sale. Ribbon and AOS judging will begin at 8:00 am on Saturday. The sales area will be open from 11:00, and the display area at 1:00 pm, and both will close at 6:30 pm on Saturday. Sunday hours for sales and displays are 11:00 am until 4:00 pm.
From Ann Arbor, take US 23 to I96 west, and get off at exit 110, Okemos Road. Go right (north) to the first light and turn left (west) onto Jolly Road. Go to the second light and turn right (north) onto Hagadorn Road. Go to the third light and turn left (west) on Service Road. Go to the first street and turn right (north) on to Bogue Street. Cross over the railway tracks and enter the first driveway on the left to park, and the second driveway to unload plants.
Our exhibit setup is on Friday, February 27, from 1:00 pm until 10:00 pm. The AAOS is putting in a 100 square foot display so we will need lots of orchids for this show. We need someone to coordinate this show, as well as members to help set up the display on Friday and tear it down on Sunday. Last year we had a number of people involved.
If you have never helped with an exhibit before, this will be a good opportunity to get involved. We will need help with putting sheet moss and labels on the orchids, and many other easy odd jobs. If you are providing orchids in bloom, please start grooming your plants now, so that they look their best for the show.
