MEREDITH — The Community Garden Club of Meredith invites members and welcomes guests to attend an interactive, entertaining, and educational program in the air-conditioned comfort at the Meredith Community Center on Thursday, September 15 at 1 p.m.

Denis Rossinger, custom orchid grower and owner of A New Day Farm, Penobscot, Maine will share his passion for orchids. While Rossinger travels to exotic places to find hidden varieties of orchids, he will share information on orchids native to New Hampshire.

Following the talk, Rossinger will have Phalanopsis/Moth Orchids for purchase at a very reasonable price. Phalanopsis are the easiest variety of orchids to grow in a home environment. Due to the limited number, there will be a lottery drawing for the orchids.

This program is free and open to the general public. Light refreshments will be served.

Carol Gerken says that in in celebration of its 60th anniversary, the club has designed botanical photo note cards featuring local garden scenes and subjects from natural to whimsical. The cards will be available for purchase at the meeting and are priced at $3 each. Variety packages of five cost $14. The proceeds will be used for scholarships and other Garden Club initiatives.

For more information or to make a reservation, call 279-5065 or 279-8772.
