The 28th Annual Gubler’s Orchid Festival will be lighting up Landers with a whole host of activities this weekend.
Thousands of folks will be venturing out to the greenhouses at Gubler’s where you can ogle orchids, eat food and drinks inspired or made with the charismatic flora, and of course take some flowers home. Chris Gubler was on the “Up Close Show” last Friday talking about the classes you’ll be able to attend during the weekend event:
Phalaenopsis Class: $30
Crowned the most popular orchid in the world, you will be learning about the care and cultivation of Phalaenopsis orchids. Your class fee includes your freshly repotted 6″ orchid to take home and enjoy.
Orchid Arrangement Class: $35
Learn more about orchid growing while you create and build your own planter to include one blooming orchid and houseplant, which is yours to keep.
Carnivorous Class: (ages 8 and up) $12 New!
Learn about Venus Fly Traps and other fascinating carnivorous plants while you transplant one to take home in this fun, fact filled, class.
Intergeneric/ Exotic Orchid Class: $35
Learn the basics of growing intergeneric orchids, broadening your interest in some of the more unique orchids found in commercial markets.
Mixed Orchid Class: $35 New!
Decide at the class start which repotting project you’d enjoy.
Choose to repot two Phalaenopsis Orchids together into one pot, create a planter with an orchid and houseplant, or repot an Intergeneric/ Exotic orchid. Like the other classes, you’ll learn along the way and what you create is what you keep.
All classes are held in the Learning Center. Please arrive a few minutes before the class begins. Cash or check will be accepted at the start of class.
