Our Fall Orchid Show
This orchid show will feature over 500 blooming orchids beautifully displayed by exhibitors from regional orchid societies, amateur hobbyists, and professional orchid growers; all centered around a Fall Halloween theme. Orchid related crafts and collectables will be displayed. All orchids and exhibits were judged by American Orchid Society judges. Visitors cast their votes for their favorite orchid exhibit in the show. A wide variety of orchid plants and collectables will be for sale by several regional vendors. Volunteers answer questions about the orchids in the show and orchid culture. This show venue is family friendly and offers visitors an “up close and personal” view of some of nature's most exotic flowers, plus some Halloween fun! We will endeavor to provide a safe open space with social distancing and masks optional.
