The January meeting will feature Dr. Downing speaking about The Million Orchid Project including their collaboration with KWOS and KWTF&BG to bring native Keys orchids back home to Key West.

January Speaker- Dr. Jason Downing

  Fairchild has established the Million Orchid Project (MOP), the nation’s largest educational outreach program dedicated to orchid conservation. The MOP has successfully propagated hundreds of thousands of native orchids and planted them in urban landscapes with the ultimate goal of reestablishing one million plants in the region. The project is unique in its scale, its experimental nature, its focus on public spaces, and its involvement of the local community from its inception. 

And don't forget to bring your blooming orchids for the show table and just maybe win a prize!
