NEWS RELEASE
ORO-MEDONTE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
************************
The Oro-Medonte Horticultural Society is pleased to announce that well-known houseplant expert, Darryl Cheng, will be the speaker at the September meeting, held on Monday, Sept. 12.
Cheng is the author of The New Plant Parent and creator of House Plant Journal. His passion for plants and engineering approach to plant care have turned him into one of the most trusted houseplant resources on the internet!
What was initially a hobby, his Tumblr page has turned into an Instagram account with over half a million followers, a go-to website for anything houseplant related, his very own houseplant care book, and plant time-lapse videos that have gone viral around the world.
Cheng’s talk is titled Light: Most Important, Least Understood. Outdoor gardeners generally have a good sense of their sunlight exposure and indoor grow ops have well documented instructions to follow — but houseplant owners are left with vague, hand-wavy directions like "bright indirect light" — which leads to dramatically different interpretations and results.
In this talk, Cheng will introduce a more systematic way to understand light with a particular focus on how it applies to houseplants. You will finally be able to make sense of light!
Cheng will have his book available for purchase after his presentation. In conjunction with his talk, there will be a houseplant sale and free draws for a houseplant.
Guests are welcome. The meeting will be held at the Oro-Medonte Community Arena, 71 Line 4 North (Corner of Highway 11 South and 4th Line N), starting at 7:30 p.m.
