We have some of the best growers coming from all over the state to sell plants this year.
So far we've received confirmations from Lois Ochs, Peter D'Amato, Margaret Boomer, Mike Wang,
Mitchell Davis, Steve Sykes, Josh Brown, Stephen Davis, and Katie Taylor. If you haven't let
me know how many tables you need, please do so soon.
If you have some plants to sell, contact me at doris_q@pacbell.net.
Show Categories
If you don't have that competitive desire but want to show off some of your plants, we'll have a display area. Please bring them before noon. Also, judged plants must remain until 4:00pm. There is nothing more disappointing than coming late to the show and seeing a bunch of empty places on the tables.
BRING YOUR PLANTS!! As with every year, the success of the show is not in what the vendors bring, but what the MEMBERS bring! Not only your enthusiasm for the plants, but your ACTUAL PLANTS! Without your beautifully grown plants there is no show. Please, bring them in. They don't have to be perfect, they don't have to be rare, and you don't have to enter them for judging, you can just display them. . Please bring them!!
For entry forms and information go to: www.bacps.org/showinfo.html.
Have you noticed that there is more to the show every year beyond just plants? We have had science projects, fun facts to know, Venus flytrap feedings, images of BACPS events, and how to grow carnivorous plants. Have you thought that the show needed something more to make it that much more complete and professional? Something to teach, amaze, or just fascinate someone? Contact me and tell me what your idea is, and I can tell you if we have room for it at the show. We can always use some "experts" to answer questions or perhaps give a talk.
We still need a volunteer or two to help with the breaking down of the show. Let me know if you are available.
Go to the website often and look for updates. OK, let's get going!

David Conner writes to tell us of an upcoming day-long tissue culture workshop in San Jose on August 7 taught by Dr. Carol Stiff. A flyer (Word format) is here. Personally, this sounds pretty cool, and David says he will be there to assist and "will bring various jars of CPs in culture for the curious."
Folks who are interested can contact Dr. Stiff directly at carol@kitchencultureEducation.org.
