About the Chapter
The National Capital Area Chapter of The Gesneriad Society is a group of gesneriad enthusiasts in the Washington, D.C. area.
“The purpose of the chapter shall be to afford a convenient and beneficial association of persons interested in gesneriads; to stimulate a widespread interest in the identification, correct nomenclature, culture, and propagation of gesneriads; and to encourage the origination and introduction of new cultivars.” (NCAC bylaws.)
The National Capital Area Chapter meets several times a year in the Administration Building of the U.S. National Arboretum in Washington, D.C. Directions are available on the National Arboretum's web site: http://www.usna.usda.gov/.
The next meeting is Saturday, February 13, 2010, at our usual location, the National Arboretum. The program will be a roundtable discussion: “Tips and Tricks to Shaping Up and Grooming Show Plants”. Doors open 10:30 am. Program begins at 11.
