African Violet Club of Burlington County

We invite you to join us

All are welcome! Novices, experienced growers and in between -- all you need is enthusiasm for African violets (or other gesneriads). Club dues are $15 per year. Membership entitles you to participate in our plant exchanges, the annual show, and other fun activities.

The African Violet Club of Burlington County meets on the first or second Thursday of the month, at 7:00 p.m., from September through May. Meetings are usually held at the Mount Laurel Library, 100 Walt Whitman Boulevard. For further information, call Trisha Spagnuolo (856-985-2907) or email ciccia1614@aol.com.  You may request to receive emailed notices of our events without being a member.

The AV Club of Burlington County is an affiliate of the African Violet Society of America (AVSA). We encourage you to visit the AVSA website for information about violet culture and more.

Our 2009 Show:  "Violets Go Platinum"

Our 20th anniversary show and plant sale was held on Saturday, May 16th, at the Medford Leas Retirement Community.  See the show schedule for classes and rules, our show flyer.   We'll be posting the awards and photos soon.  In the meantime, please enjoy a brief slide show of photos taken by one of our club friends. 

Please enjoy some pictures from our 2009 show:

What are we growing?

 

Club members are compiling our plant lists (some of us are in denial about just how many pets we have). We're starting with plant names and registration numbers, but expect to add images and descriptions as time goes on. The list gives you an idea of the breadth of interests and variety of tastes among club members, as well as what to expect when you visit one of our sales.

 

Club members share leaves freely with each other. If you lust after one of our varieties, perhaps it's worth joining just to get some leaves!
