Topic: WCJC and AOS Judging - Just What Are They Looking For?

Speaker: Abu Salleh

Abu’s Bio:

I have been growing orchids for over 20 years now, started off the same as a lot of others, an impulse buy at a local grocery store. Living in downtown Vancouver in a one bedroom condo, miniatures quickly became a passion as well as a necessity...

I joined the AOS Judging program in 2006 when the PNWJC (Pacific Northwest Judging Center) started a supplemental judging site in Vancouver. I became an accredited judge in 2012, and in 2017, I took the application and the dreams of our judges to Miami, presented to the AOS, and WCJC was formed. I am currently the Centre Chair for the WCJC.

The January meeting will be held at the North Oyster Community Centre, 13467 Cedar Road, Nanaimo. Doors open at 11:00 with a brief business meeting starting at 11:30pm. Following is a display of plants brought in by members, a coffee break, prize draw and a featured presentation.

Whether you're a beginner or expert orchid grower, bring your questions - you will find our members very friendly and knowledgeable.
