Activities
It has been a quite busy year at J S Orchids. On several fronts. My website launched a year ago. Through some slow start in developing it its starting to look up. Not quite where I would like it to be, yet, but it's getting there. New articles and items are being added frequently, as I expand my stock and selection. That brings me to my new challenge. Need for larger growing area is becoming more and more urgent. Plans for an expantion of my nursery are being drafted and if all goes well, hope to settle into a new greenhouse, before the winter settles in.
In the past show season, I have had the privillige to participate in several orchid shows. Lessons learned make me all excited in anticipation of upcomming show season, starting with Central Ontario Orchid Society annual show this month in Camridge, Ont.
