Children will learn about orchid cultivation while they make a mini-greenhouse out of a one-gallon container during their free orchid class. They will receive a 3-inch orchid to take home. Adult classes are $15 and each participant will also bring home an orchid in a 6-inch pot. Adults can learn how to transplant an orchid, cultivate and care for orchids. For $25, adults can take an orchid arrangement class where they’ll learn how to create and build an orchid planter and receive two blooming orchids. Classes fill up quickly, so call 760-364-2282 now to reserve your spot. Gubler’s Orchids is located on Belfield Boulevard in Landers.
