Orchid Show 2008: Storybook Classics

February 2 through March 16
9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Ridgway Center
Admission plus $3 for adults and children. Free for members!

Return this year to childhood wonder of magical plants with “Storybook Classics.” The theme of the 2008 orchid show was inspired by plant-related children’s classics like Jack and the Beanstalk, Johnny Appleseed, Peter Rabbit, and The Secret Garden. Experiencing the color, beauty, and fragrance of over 800 blooming orchids in the middle of winter is indeed a magical experience. Listen to intriguing stories about orchid lore and history, and learn how to care for your own plants, with the free audio-commentary.
