Gayle Brodie: “Thinking Outside the Pot”

Gayle Brodie started growing orchids over 20 years ago and is an accredited judge

with the American Orchid Society. Her collection is housed outdoors and in an 8′

x 12′ greenhouse, and she has received 24 AOS awards in nine different genera

and Best Orchid in Show at the 2017 Santa Barbara International Orchid Show.

She has been a very active board member and officer of the Conejo Orchid Society

for over 15 years and has volunteered weekly in the orchid greenhouses at the

Huntington Library for the past 11 years. She lives in Thousand Oaks with her husband Steve and her Corgi Amber, happily retired from her career as a CPA.

Gayle's talk will focus on how to recognize and compensate for potting challenges.

She will have recommendations for how to deal with real-world issues that can come

up while caring for orchids.
