Who We Are:

The American Rhododendron Society is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to encourage interest in and to disseminate information about the genus Rhododendron.  Members' experience ranges from novice to expert.  Society activities include public education, flower shows, seed exchanges, scientific studies, and communication through publications and local and national meetings.  ARS chapters are located throughout the United States and Canada and in Denmark, Finland, Holland, Scotland and Sweden.

The De Anza Chapter is composed of American Rhododendron Society members who hold meetings and sponsor events in the "Silicon-Valley" region of Northern California.  Non-members and guests are always welcome to attend Chapter meetings and events.

Paul Brown, Bee's husband, has been x-raying plants and animals in his lab at Stanford and come up with fascinating images of a secret world of forms and structures. Plants can be viewed beyond pretty colors and blossom shapes and Paul will show us how. These images he will share with us in a engrossing presentation for this month's meeting topic. Don't miss this "different" way to look at plants.

AFTER the meeting:
