The September 16, 2024, speaker meeting of the Silver Spring Garden Club features a talk entitled, "Buddy Up With Nature’s Predators - Carnivorous Plants And How To Incorporate Them Into Your Garden."Our speaker is Rich Crider. By day, he manages large-scale information technology projects for federal government customers. Over the last 25 years he has supported customers like the Department of Veterans Affairs, Army, Coast Guard, Library of Congress, Department of Justice, and NASA. When he's not dealing with IT issues, you'll likely find him knee-deep in the dirt.
In addition to his IT career, Rich serves as Vice President of the American Daylily Society, where he merges his technological expertise with his lifelong love of gardening to benefit the organization. In addition to his work with the daylily society, he is an avid lover and grower of iris, carnivorous plants, and practically every other plant. Rich’s passion for gardening began in his youth, influenced by his green-thumbed grandmothers, and has only grown stronger over the years.
