MEMBERS SALES TABLES
Members sales tables will be available before the meeting and during session breaks.
20% of all sales go to the MOS Scholarship fund.

Come early and learn from the Pros! We will start the class at 6:15pm with whomever is there. Usually, people will join in as they arrive. Members may bring in their plants for discussion. If you bring in a problem plant with insects present, the plant should be brought to the meeting in a plastic bag so as not to "share the wealth".
