How about more tours of the nurseries? I recall that a few years ago we had…
MAHALO
The Kauai Orchid Society would like to say MAHALO to Ann Reid and Tom Godbey for serving as judges at our 20th Annual Mothers' Day Show and Sale. We really appreciate them sharing their years of experience and expertise. Anyone who won an award should feel quite proud because they have been selected by extremely qualified AOS judges.
We would also like to thank Kauai Nursery and Landscaping and Growing Greens for donating items used in our display.
Finally, this all would not have been possible without help of Kauai Nursery, Orchid Alley and Yamada Nursery.

Aloha!
I want to thank all of you who worked so hard to make the Kauai Orchid Society's 20th Annual Mothers Day Show and Sale so successful. The weather was perfect and the Kukui Grove Shopping Mall was filled with shoppers looking for that perfect gift. I received a number of comments from off-island visitors who remarked on the exceptional variety of orchids on display.
