It’s happening now — the 19th annual Morongo Basin Orchid Festival. With more on the festival fun, here is managing editor Tami Roleff…
For 19 years, Gubler Orchids in Landers and the Sunset Rotary Club have been sponsoring the Orchid Festival, a two-day fun fest of flowers, classes and demonstrations, music, vendors, and food that raises money for local charities. Everyone is invited to come out for free behind-the-scenes tours of the growing operation, orchid classes, demonstrations in the orchid pavilion, a bounce house for the kids, and for adults, Trader Joe’s wine and cheese tasting. The Orchid Festival runs from 10 to 5 Saturday, October 4 and 10 to 3 Sunday, October 5. Proceeds from sales at the fest are distributed among the 16 local charities that have booths at the event. Gubler Orchids is on Belfield Blvd. in Landers. For more information, directions, class registration, or vendor information, go to SunsetRotary.org or gublerorchids.com.
