About the Zoom Coffee in the Brom Garden Series

We've had Zoom Coffee in the Garden meetings in April, June and July.  We started with just over a dozen participants, and it grew to over 20 who participated. Turns out — this is a decent medium for demonstrations and discussing the basic and not-so-basic topics of bromeliad cultivation,  If you want more information on how to participate by Zoom, email Scott.
