Join us as Melana Daivson gives South Florida orchid growers the knowledge and skills they need to successfully grow and bloom orchids in their homes and gardens. 

In the first class of this series, we focus on Light, Water, Air, and Nutrition, or the fundamental needs we will review to keep your orchids happy and healthy! We begin with an introduction to orchids and take a look at growing some of the most common and popular genera.

Orchids are not any harder to grow than any other plants, just different!

This ticket admits one for only the first class of the series. Previous classes are not prerequisites for subsequent classes.
