African Violets in Your Window
African violets are a popular houseplant in many countries, because they flower for most of the year and are easy to grow. Learn about the wide variety of African Violets and how best to care for them. After the presentation, hybridized and species violets will be available for sale. These are way more interesting than the violets we can buy in big box stores or the supermarket!
Speaker Paula Bal has been hybridizing African violets for ten years and has two registered hybrids with the African Violet Society of America (AVSA). She has served as the President of the Garden State African Violet Club, the Treasurer of the Tristate African Violet Council and is a retired Director of the AVSA.
