ORCHIDACEAE (orchids) is one of the two largest families of flowering plants, containing about 28,000 currently accepted species in 702 genera.
You won’t find 28,000 varieties at the Goulburn Valley Orchid Club’s 2025 Spring Spectacular of Orchids, but you will find a treasure trove of beautiful flowers to excite all orchid enthusiasts.
There will be Northern Victoria’s most beautiful orchids on show, plus expert growers Craig Milles and Orchid on Newbold available to give advice and for potting demonstrations. Patrons can buy their own orchids, hand-crafted ironworks for the garden and orchid-growing accessories on the day with multiple retailers present.
“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 27, 9am to 4pm and Sunday, September 28, 10am to 3pm. $5 entry for adults, children under 14 free.
