Available on either Tuesday afternoon or Saturday morning, we will explore the fascinating world of growing orchids. We will de-mystify repotting, feeding, and watering. Learn to identify the parts of an orchid and recognize some genera of this enormous plant world. Choosing the ideal orchids for tree mounting is included, as well as choosing the correct container. This class is a great springboard for attending our annual Orchid Symposium to be held in April, where vendors will be offering thousands of orchids for sale. Following the classroom presentation, we will take an orchid tour at the Estates.
NOTE: Most classes will be held in the Fort Myers-Lee County Garden Council Building (at the Berne Davis Gardens). The space is accessible and air-conditioned. Directions to the classroom and check-in instructions will be emailed to all registered participants 24 hours before the program. If the program includes a garden tour, be prepared with sun protection, comfortable walking shoes and water. Each participant will receive a complete set of the written course materials and a 20% Discount Coupon for plant purchases in our Garden Shoppe. Class fee does not include access to the houses and museum. Pre-registration is required as space is limited. Free parking.
Cost: Members: $45; Non-Members: $60
