Maryland Orchid Society Meeting March 2022 Meeting

Art Chadwick

Maryland Orchid Society
Newsletter and February Meeting
Art Chadwick Speaks on “Large Flowered Cattleya Species”
Thursday, March 17, 7 p.m.
in person and Zoom

     Art holds a BS in Electrical Engineering from North Carolina State and an MBA from James Madison University. He founded Chadwick and Son Orchids Inc., in 1989 with his father who has been growing orchids since 1943.
     “The Classic Cattleya” is widely considered to be the definitive book on large-flowered Cattleya species and was written by Art and his father. Martha Stewart favorably reviewed the book and had both Chadwicks on her TV Show. A 2nd edition is now available.
     Art has the distinction of naming Cattleya hybrids after the wives of the last five U.S. Presidents and personally presenting the flowers to most of the honored recipients. He has spoken at two World Orchid Conferences - France 2005, Ecuador 2017 and his popular orchid advice column appears each month in many newspapers around the country.
     Chadwicks operates 11 greenhouses in rural Powhatan County, a retail store in Richmond, and boards over 13,000 orchids for local clients. The company was recently featured in Southern Living magazine, The New York Times, the Washington Post, CBS Sunday Morning, and O Magazine.
