This weekend will see flowers blooming and on display at the Spring Spectacular of Orchids hosted by the Goulburn Valley Orchid Club (GVOC).
On Friday afternoon there will be over 400 flowering orchids exhibited by GVOC members. Friday night, they will be judged by four Orchid Society Council of Victoria judges and one local judge, Michelle Banfield from Flourish on McLennan in Mooroopna, will judge the Floral Art section.
GVOC president, Chris Ibbotson said, “We are expecting 300 to 400 visitors to come through the doors to admire the beautiful and breathtaking orchids. We also have a photography section and floral arrangements along with opportunities to purchase plants from local and interstate growers.
“The club also has an accessory stall supplying pots, stakes, potting medium and everything else one would need to pot up their orchids.
“We will be having potting demonstrations where people will walk away with a wealth of knowledge, armed to grow their own orchids successfully.”
Light luncheons, morning and afternoon tea will also be available at the show at the Kialla Paceway this weekend, Saturday, September 28, 9am to 4pm and Sunday 29 from 10am to 3pm. Contact Chris Ibbotson on 0417 923 874 or email her at chris.ibbotson123@gmail.com for more information.
