Next Meeting;
SVBS Monthly Meeting
Norman Murray Community & Senior Center
Thursday April 2nd 2026 7:00 pm​​

FEATURED THIS MONTH
​
​We will not have a speaker this month because our
meeting is less than two weeks away from our World Bromeliad Conference in Costa Mesa. We will be covering all of the last minute details and answering any questions that you may have.
After the break, we will spend extra time on Show and Tell, and perhaps ask: “Could this plant be shown at the conference and what might be done to make it show quality.”
Last month, we had a high quality selection of plants for our raffle table. The good news is that this month we will have another plant table from the same superior grower. The plants were all grown outdoors in Mission Viejo and are acclimated to our area. Once again, there should be a wide variety of genera and many unusual plants. We should also have another interesting silent auction.
​
Please join us for this informative meeting and enjoy all of our other bromeliad activities such as show and tell, raffle, silent auction of unusual plants, and great refreshments.
