June Meeting—Annual Awards Potluck and Business Meeting

This will be our annual business meeting and election of officers for next year. It also one of our 2 great potlucks where get to get enjoy each others company and hopefully a sunny evening on the patio of the BBG Visitor's Center.

We will have multiple door prizes at this meeting instead of a raffle. There will be coffee and tea along with whatever you bring along.

As always visitors are more than welcome - encouraged, even!

 

Who We Are

The aim of the Cascade Chapter, a chapter of the American Rhododendron Society, is to help the membership have a better understanding of growing rhododendrons. Members share their expertise and experiences in such areas as plant propagation, fertilization, pruning, and hybridization.

Membership not only affords a means to learn, but also a healthy and friendly environment to share, and enjoy the association of other garden lovers. Frequently, members show slides taken at various gardens, both near and far, that illustrate the beauty and diversity of the genus rhododendron. Members have opportunities to obtain plants via door prizes, raffles, and auctions.
