Fort Myers event to welcome area orchidophiles
Although some may think of orchids as exotic plants that are hard to grow, a Fort Myers event will show how they can be enjoyed by almost any home gardener.
The annual Orchid Sale and Symposium will be running for two days this coming October, offering learning opportunities aplenty. Its schedule includes presentations as well as an advice table and pop-up sale, and many of the activities will be free.
Workshops planned for the weekend will cover topics ranging from repotting an orchid to lighting, growing orchids outdoors in trees, using hypertufa, and painting orchids, while newbies to this family of plants may especially appreciate the Orchids 101 session. Several vendors have reserved a space in the market, and Lee County Master Gardeners will be manning an information table where attendees can ask subject matter experts their questions about orchid care and culture.
An event with a horticultural theme may attract attention from area plant lovers, making it a good opportunity for small businesses in the sector to expand their customer base. A business card printing company can prepare cards to hand out so that it will be easy to share contact details.
This learning opportunity for area orchidophiles will be taking place at The Edison and Ford Winter Estates. It is scheduled for the weekend of October 12 and 13.
