CAPS MEETING - Saturday April 27th FROM 1:00 - 3:00 PM CST
Hanover Park Branch Library, 1266 Irving Park Rd, Hanover Park, IL 60133
The Chicago Aquatic Plant Society welcomes guest speaker Melanie Holmes, she will give a presentation titled "Biotope Aquascapes" and then lead a captivating live aquascaping Demo.
Melanie was raised in Wuerzburg Germany, nurse by trade, lover of all things blackwater and botanicals. Having always been drawn to nature style aquariums she finds inspiration not only from research but from hours spent outside. She has truly fallen in love with blackwater / botanical style aquascaping not only for its beauty but also due to its undeniable benefits and the world it creates within.
**Completed demo scape consisting of a rimless UNS tank and hardscape will be raffled off to one lucky winner! Must be present in person at the time of the drawing to win**
CAPS also hosts free plant trading and a giveaway raffle for all in-person attendees at the meeting (must be present to win the raffle). Bring your plant clippings to trade and get your aquatic plants or aquascaping questions answered!
If you are a paid member and interested in borrowing a book or the PAR meter from our CAPS library please contact Beth Lang at librarian@chicagoaquaticplants.com. You can pick it up at our next meeting or we can make other arrangements.
