The Bromeliad Society of Greater Chicago Title Splash


 


Welcome to our pages!

We are a small group of BROMELIAD lovers!!!

We meet every few months at the Chicago Botanic Garden We meet the second Sunday of that month from 2 PM to 4 PM, where we share our triumphs and failures on raising plants that are indigenous to a tropical climate.  Come join us and learn about these fascinating plants whose color, brilliance and longevity make them an ideal plant for decorating your home or office.

Sorry for any confusion, but we do not currently meet every month.  If meeting attendance picks up, we may increase the number of times we meet.

We are meeting this month, August 14, 2011 in the Annex 2 trailer.  We will be having a guest speaker, Paul Wingert, who will present some of his favorite varieties, and reflect on his 35 years experience of growing and hybridizing bromeliads in Michigan.   

Paul was recently named to the Bromeliad Society International board of directors as the representative for the Central States region.  He was also the Sweepstakes Award winner at the BSI World Conference, which was hosted in Chicago in 2004

There will be plenty of plants available for sale, including many of Paul's newer hybrids.
