Meetings
Please feel free to come and visit
our meetings; if you enjoy yourself and think you might want to
try and grow some Gesneriads we welcome you to join us as a new
member. Feel free to bring along a friend whom you think might
be interested.
Meetings are held on the
3rd Sunday of each month, September through
May, at 2:00 p.m.
As of September 2008
the new meeting location is the Edmund C.
Bovey Building, on the University of Guelph campus. The building
is located on the corner of Gordon St. and South Ring Road
extension. The parking lot and entry to the meeting room is also
right off that corner of the building. There are many parking
spots in that lot and parking is free on weekends. There will be
someone at the entry door or a sign clearly marking the door to
guide you.
Our meetings will run usually for
1.5 - 2 hrs. including guest speakers, special topics,
slides shows, snacks and beverages, a mini show if members bring
their plants in or a show and tell of new and interesting
Gesneriad plants you are growing. It is a chance to have a lot
of fun with new and old friends and learn a lot too.
(If you have any questions you
can find contacts on our membership page)
