This is a one day only show and will feature many spectacular orchids. Visitors will get to see a huge variety of orchids including many that are rare and unusual.
This show should be ideal for a big benching of Australian native orchids with members competing for the Champion Sarcochilus, a compact native orchid that has been hybridised to create a huge array of colours ranging from pure white to bright yellow or deep crimson and many fascinating combinations of these.
Admission to the show is free and one lucky visitor is going to win a beautiful orchid as a lucky door prize.
You will also have a chance to win some beautiful orchids in the raffle or a family pass to the Nowra Zoo and Adventure World. The show will be open between 9am and 4pm.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to ask for advice and take advantage of a large range of orchids at the ever popular sales section to add to their collection at very reasonable prices.
Society members will be available throughout the day to answer questions on growing orchids. You never know, this may be just the hobby you are looking for and, with a sales table well stocked with orchids and growing accessories to choose from, you may well find some bargains at very reasonable prices.
This is a great way for growers to expand their orchid collection and for beginners to find some easy-to-grow starter plants.
The society holds monthly meetings at the Bomaderry Bowling Club on the third Monday of each month except January. Visitors are most welcome. For further information contact president Louise Gannon on 0419 241 177.
