August Speaker
Tom Biggart

“Australian Dendrobiums and a Few Sarcochilus”

We are pleased to have Tom Biggart as our August speaker.  Tom is the owner and head grower of Granite Hills Orchids in El Cajon, California, a small town 15 miles east of San Diego. His nursery is a hobby business, which means he doesn't make a living growing plants. It is more of a labor of love! Tom loves plants in general, and orchids are his main passion.

He is very interested in Encyclias and has a large collection of Encyclia species and hybrids. The Australian cool growers are a current interest. Mr. Biggart is in business with the Harveys of Cedarvale Orchids. They are major Australian growers and hybridizers of native Dendrobiums.

Tom is a retired elementary school teacher with orchids as his new students. He would love to have anyone stop by to talk orchids should one be in the San Diego area.  Tom will be supplying the plant opportunity table for this meeting, and will also be offering select plants for sale.

POT Table:

The plant table for this month will be provided by Tom Biggart. So don’t forget to get your raffle tickets!
