Hello Everyone!

[g.s.tichelaar]

My name is Gerrit Tichelaar and I live in Southeast Wisconsin. I am an instructor of Landscape Horticulture and Greenhouse Production at the local Community College. A couple of decades ago I lived in San Francisco and worked at a local orchid nursery and was a student judge in the San Francisco Orchid Society and member of the Paphiopedilum Guild.
I am jumping back in because I have started teaching orchid propagation and culture (Slippers) as part of my Greenhouse Crops class. We are starting from ground floor and are just beginning to build a collection. I am excited to be part of this community because 20 some-odd years is a while to be out of the community and not growing.
Our Department is looking to purchase a collection or accept any plant donations towards our fledgling program.
Thank you and glad to be here.

Welcome to ST from KY. What specific orchids are you
looking for. I grow Phrags and Phals in my greenhouse
in different areas.

Welcome back to the hobby and to the OB. When you say Southeast Wisconson, how close are you to the Janesville/Fort Atkinson corridor?

Thanks! I am close, but in the corner on the border of Illinois and lake Michigan.
