WHEN spring hits the Goulburn Valley, it means it is time for the Goulburn Valley Orchid Club’s Spring Spectacular of Orchids.
Once again, Northern Victoria’s most beautiful orchids will be on show. Plus, expert grower Orchid on Newbold will be available to give advice and provide potting demonstrations.
Patrons can buy their own orchids, hand-crafted ironwork for the garden and orchid-growing accessories on the day with multiple retailers present.
Tatura Bakery will be supplying a range of treats to purchase, and their coffee van will also be there for your hot drink requirements.
“It’s a wonderful event with floral art displays, photography, potting demos and expert growers on hand for all your orchid advice. We have members from all over the Goulburn Valley, and we’re always looking for new members,” said Goulburn Valley Orchid Club president, Chris Ibbotson.
This year’s Spring Spectacular of Orchids will be held at the Mooroopna Mechanics Hall, at 41 McLennan Street, Mooroopna, on Saturday, September 26, 9am to 4pm and Sunday, September 27, 10am to 3pm. $5 entry for adults; children under 14 free.
