30th Annual Orchid Show and Sale
On July 11 and 12, 2009 the Baton Rouge Orchid Society will present
its 30 annual Orchid 30th Show and Plant Sale at the Baton Rouge
Garden Center. The theme of the Show is "30th Anniversary”. Orchid
societies and vendors from across the Gulf South will stage awesome
exhibits to carry out this theme.
This Show and Sale provide an opportunity to experience the sight
and aroma of hundreds of exotic orchids in one place. Although
people are usually surprised to learn that orchids are fragrant,
some of them are wonderfully so.
The Show is free and open to the public. Dates and times are
Saturday, July 11, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, July 12, from
10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Throughout the Show members of the Baton Rouge Orchid Society will
be on hand to greet guests, provide guidance in purchasing plants,
and answer questions about orchid culture.
A number of commercial vendors will have plants in bloom – as well
as plants ranging from seedlings to blooming size – to sell. Prices
are reasonable, and cultural information will be available.

Rouge. ALL is a non-profit 501(c)3 set up to provide school age
children, adults and drop outs with a set of scientifically proven

We focus on students who have substandard reading levels and who are
missing basic literacy and math skills. As a licensed affiliate of
Applied Scholastics Achievement Program (ASAP), our innovative
program helps learners recognize specific barriers to learning
followed by full academic repair using certified tutors. Unlike
overwhelmed school teachers, we have the time and ability to meet
students where they are currently performing and use proven
techniques to repair their vocabulary, reading and math skills.
The grand opening ceremonies will take place at the ALL building
located at 3324 Florida Blvd. on July 17, from 3-6 p.m. with a brief
ribbon cutting ceremony at 3:30 p.m. We are inviting all of our
friends, neighbors and supporters to this free event. We will also

the opportunity to tour the new facility and to hear about all the
services offered to the public.
