Bob Papp

Bob Papp has been President of South Coast Dahlia Society for 5 years.  He will tell us how to grow dahlias in our area.  He will particularly discuss the importance of knowing the size and height of the mature plant.  Since his climate in the south coast Long Beach area is quite similar to ours, this should be an interesting and informative meeting.
