NORTHWEST HYBRIDIZERS

The first meeting of the NW Hybridizers’ Society was held October 2007.

Their first speaker was Ron Monnier of Monniers’ Country Garden in Woodburn, OR.

In his talk he said, “I am thrilled to see there is interest building towards getting folks involved in hybridizing here in
the Northwest and California. The list of local hybridizers has been far to short for far too long. I applaud those that have kept the craft going, and appreciate the work they have been doing to keep hybridizing going here in the USA and keeping us inspired.
Many have harangued me for years to start a hybridizing program. I was hesitant because I thought that the technical
level of hybridizing was beyond my ability. Hybridizing was always an interest though and I thought It was something I
might like to try.” If you Want more information, email,
