Our meetings are held on the odd numbered months except July. We meet on the third Sunday of the month at 2:00 PM in the Fireside Room at the United Methodist Church on the corner of F and North Streets in Lompoc. We are not a religious organization. We merely rent the facility from the church. Our meetings consist of a business session followed by a guest speaker and/or demonstration of plant handling techniques, and often opportunities to share plants and ideas with fellow members.
