Moving home, the show has repotted itself and is being held at the Wiigulga Sports Complex, described by Orchid Society President Neville Anderson as a “magnificent, brand new, easy-to-find venue”.

“We’ll be set up in the Sangeet Rooms.

“Whether you are a serious gardener, hobbyist or just looking for a wonderful day out with the family, you are in for a delightful treat at the Woolgoolga District Orchid Society’s Orchid Show and Garden Expo.

“Be enthralled when you enter the magical world of exquisite orchids,” he said.

The Garden Expo has expanded to include “fabulous displays” from the Woolgoolga District Garden Club, Bromeliad Society and a number of other local organisations.

“Even if you’re not an orchid grower, come and wend your way through these magnificent orchid species and learn what makes them so desirable to grow.

“Our friendly and knowledgeable Orchid Society Members are only too happy to discuss why they are so passionate about growing orchids.

“Let them dispel the myth that orchids are so hard to grow,” said Neville.

There will be a plethora of magnificent orchids on sale from well-known orchid growers.

“Make a day of your visit, you definitely won’t go thirsty this year as there is a café on site with delicious food and drinks to suit every palate,” said Neville.
