Troy Garden Club Presents "African Violets: Care & Cultivation

Lisa Steinkopf, designer & houseplant guru, says that African violets "are not your grandmother's plants."

While enthusiastic gardeners are already planning for the 2015 outdoor growing season, Lisa Steinkopf, designer and houseplant guru, has additional food for thought and action. Her presentation of “African Violets: Care & Cultivation,” will help gardeners bridge the cold weather gap. Steinkopf, of Steinkopf Nursery in Farmington Hills, says that African violets “are not your grandmother’s plants!”


The Troy Garden Club invites you to join them for Steinkopf’s lecture on Wednesday, January 14. Guests are welcome and should check in by 11:45 AM at Big Beaver United Methodist Church, 3753 John R, Troy, just south of Wattles. The $7 guest fee includes a light lunch at noon and the 1:00 PM presentation. Please register in advance to attend by emailing: infoandideas@aol.com. Prepayment is not required.
