When it comes to keeping our beautiful orchids healthy, spraying them with the right chemicals is a must. It helps protect them from pests and diseases, or even cures them.
But let’s be real—while we want our plants to thrive, we also need to think about our own safety. Handling these chemicals can come with its own set of risks, so it's super important to take precautions.

Today he contributes to the society as its Communications Director, Photographer and Social Media Manager.
Prior to coming to Jacksonville he retired from the Army and then completed a Master's and PhD that he applied as a Defense Contractor.
