The 'Orchid Harvest' Show and Sale

Orchid Harvest'
  Show and Sale
Dear Fellow Gardeners,

Beautiful and incredibly diverse, orchids are the most unrivalled in the plant world. They are the largest family of flowering plants with over 30,000 different species plus hybrids. Orchids can grow in the tropics, arctic tundra, and any place in-between. The reason for the diversity is their amazing ability to adapt to the given environment. With so many unique orchid varieties that can thrive in so many different growing conditions, it is easy to find an orchid that is well suited to the conditions that you can provide .... a kitchen counter top, the front end table in the foyer, your bedroom nightstand near the sheer-curtained window. There are many, many orchid varieties that make excellent house plants.

If you love orchids and can't get enough of them, don't miss this weekend's 'Orchid Harvest'.

COSPresented by the original Connecticut Orchid Society, The 'Orchid Harvest' Show and Sale is taking place this weekend at Van Wilgen's Main Nursery & Retail Center in North Branford.

The greenhouse has been transformed into an elegant, AOS-sanctioned judged orchid exhibition. The bench show is judged on Friday morning, and then opens to the public on Friday afternoon, Saturday and Sunday, October 19-21, 2012. It's the perfect opportunity to treat yourself to an impressive show, attend an orchid lecture, enter a raffle and enjoy a delicious meal. And it's the ideal time to complete your shopping for all your fall gardening needs. We have pulled more Van Wilgen Grown mums and cabbage/kale from our growing fields, potted many more hanging baskets and cones, and added loads and loads of carving, sugar and speciality pumpkins, plus the most unique fall decorations around. And there's still plenty of plants to choose from in our '40% Off all Perennials, Trees and Shrubs Nursery Sale!
