Do you love those beautiful orchids that you find in grocery stores and garden centers? Are you one of the many who feel that you cannot keep your orchid alive, much less flourishing? If your answers are yes, here’s your opportunity to learn the basics of selecting a healthy orchid for purchase, how to care for it when you get it home, and how to re-pot it when it is ready for a fresh makeover. Participants should bring one or two of their own orchids for inspection and re-potting together.
