CTAHR agents and researchers, along with other agricultural professionals, partnered to host a well-attended and well-received conference on August 1 at Leeward Community College.

Former Extension agent Norm Bezona took the opportunity afforded by the upcoming Kona Daifukuji Orchid Show and Sale (it’s this Sunday, August 12, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.) to discuss many aspects of orchid selection, care, and culture in his column in the Hawaii Tribune Herald.
