June 2025 meeting -- Vanilla Orchids

We are excited to have Stephanie Webb from Sunshine State Vanilla in Tampa as our guest speaker! Stephanie will discuss Vanilla orchids, which produce the bean used in foods, beverages and other consumer products. Vanilla grows in Florida.

Stephanie will share tips and tricks for growing Vanilla and harvesting and curing the beans. And, she’ll bring plants, Vanilla beans, and her Vanilla products for sale.

The evening will include approximately 100 blooming plants of different varieties brought by members for judging and awards, opportunities to take orchids home, and light refreshments.

Guests are welcome to attend the monthly meetings with free admission.
