Welcome

Welcome to the website of the Greater New York Gesneriad Society. We are a group of houseplant enthusiasts interested in the “Miracle Houseplants,” plants that include African Violets, Florist Gloxinias, Cape Primroses (Streptocarpus) and many other common houseplants.

The biggest convention flower show to date and you don’t want to miss it! Using a PowerPoint presentation developed by Julie Mavity-Hudson, Chairperson of the Photography Committee of The Gesneriad Society, we will take you through the award-winning exhibits and hopefully see some other interesting photos from the 2009 Convention, which was held in Silver Spring, MD. This is a convention flower show that you don’t want to miss.

We meet at the LGBT Center , 208 West 13th Street, between 7th and 8th Avenues, in Manhattan (Subways: A, C, E, 1, 2, 3, 9 to 14th Street, L to 8th Avenue). Meetings are from 11 am to 2 pm, with the program starting at 12 noon. The facilities are wheelchair accessible. Our monthly meetings feature an educational program, plant sales, raffle, a judged “Little Show” and socializing. Plants, cuttings, seeds, growing supplies and advice always available.

The Greater New York Gesneriad Society is a chapter of The Gesneriad Society, formerly the American Gloxinia and Gesneriad Society.
