1000's of blooms will be on display

Experience displays of beautiful live orchids, photograph, and learn about these beautiful plants during this weekend in October at the 27th Annual Morongo Basin Orchid Festival at Gubler’s Orchids. See over 30,000 Venus Fly Traps and other carnivorous plants waiting for their next meal.

The Gubler family has loved and grown orchids for four generations. Originally in Switzerland, Gubler Orchids was opened in 1918 by Heir Gubler. His second son, Hans, moved to California in 1954 and started Gubler Orchids (US).

The Orchid Festival is in its 27 year and showcases a wide variety of Orchids, non-profits, classes, displays, and a contest. Visitors will be given a “Rotary Buck” with orchid purchases to benefit their favorite charity. Bring a camera, take a self-guided tour, and enjoy a family day.

The festival is Saturday, October 7, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, October 8, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 2200 Belfield Blvd. in Landers. Admission and parking are free.
