Over the past few weeks, the New Zealand Orchid Society has recognised members for their achievements and contributions.

At our judges’ meeting last Saturday, Larissa Mastakova and Liz Brooks  were presented with certificates and judges’ badges to mark their advancement to fully accredited NZOS Judges.

Larissa’s accreditation had been achieved earlier, but we were pleased to celebrate it officially alongside Liz’s

Congratulations to you both, and thank you for your dedicated service to NZOS.
