Orchid Society gears up for Spring Show
MEMBERS of the Stawell Orchid Society are busily preparing their orchids ahead of the annual spring orchid show later this month.
The theme for this year’s show is “Birds in the Bush” giving the members the opportunity to display their orchids in large, themed displays, tabletop displays, on club table and on mini boards.
In conjunction with the show, there will also be an Indoor Plant Competition with members of the public encouraged to enter plants into the competition.
People entering are asked to bring their indoor plant to the Entertainment Centre on Thursday September 25th between 12.30pm.
All entrants have a chance to win a sash and trophy and plants of any genre may be entered.
The first orchid show conducted by the Stawell Orchid Society was held in the now demolished Methodist Church Hall in 1992.
Although this was quite a small show it was the beginning of something bigger with the show now in its 33rd year
The Stawell Orchid Society Spring Orchid Show will be held in the Stawell Entertainment Centre at 117 Main Street Stawell on Friday September 26th 9am to 5pm and Saturday September 27th 9am to 4pm.
Entry $5, kids-12 free.
Orchid potting demonstrations will be held on both Friday and Saturday at 2pm.
Plants will also be on sale and members on hand to answer any orchid related questions.
