A Visit to Orchid Enterprise
The Brookside Garden Orchid Show in March of 2020 was cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions. Here is a tour of the plants that would have been sold at that show. We got a private tour of the Orchid Enterprise greenhouses. Yes, I bought some orchids that day!
How to Repot an Orchid
The location was my beloved Behnke Nurseries which is now closed. I held repotting clinics there for nearly 10 years! Oh how I miss the staff and mostly the folks who came to see me! I repotted about 1000 orchids per year and talked to hundreds of people about growing orchids in their home. This was taped on a busy October day in 2015. Thank you Washington Gardener Magazine for the support!
