FCOS ORCHID TALKS: Gayle Brodie, "Thinking Outside the Pot"

Gayle put this talk together because she saw so many growers having problems because they chose the wrong pot. Gayle will show that there is a perfect pot for every root ball, but most of the time you won’t own it. Therefore, she will show how to adapt the best pot you have to make it the perfect pot, and also encourage viewers to consider unconventional choices for your pots.

Gayle Brodie started growing orchids over 20 years ago and is an accredited judge with the American Orchid Society.  Her collection is housed outdoors and in a 8' x 12' greenhouse, and she has received 24 AOS awards in nine different genera and also Best Orchid In Show at the 2017 Santa Barbara International Orchid Show.  She has been a very active board member and officer of the Conejo Orchid Society for over fifteen years and has volunteered weekly in the orchid greenhouses at the Huntington Library for the past eleven years.  She lives in Thousand Oaks with her husband Steve, happily retired from her career as a CPA.
