The Annapolis Valley African Violet Society is a
small group of people in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia who meet
monthly to discuss the growing and care of Saintpaulias (African Violets)
and other related plants in the gesneriad family. The group is highly
active and between them, the members grow approximately 450 different
varieties of African Violet, Streptocarpus, Columnea, Aeschynanthus,
Sinningia, Episcia and Chirita. Many of the members attend African Violet
Conventions and shows throughout Canada
and the U.S.A. The AVAVS is
affiliated with the African Violet Society of Canada
(AVSC) and the African Violet Society
of America (AVSA).
The AVAVS has a judged show each year where the growing efforts of its
members are recognized and rewarded. In its membership, the AVAVS has
two AVSA certified Advanced Judges who provide the group with a wealth
of information on showing and judging plants.
The AVAVS maintains an extensive library of books, magazines, newsletters
and CD ROMs that are available to its members. The AVAVS is always eager
to have new members and if you are interested in sharing your growing
experiences with us or learning more about African Violets and other
Gesneriads please contact one of the executives or e-mail us at AVAVS.
