An Introduction to Orchids and Their Care

  • Tuesday, November 29, 2022, 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM

Though the outdoor growing season is over, orchids are a great indoor plant to tend in the winter and year round. Join Carol Bayles, president of the Southern Tier Orchid Society, to hear an overview of the orchid family, with emphasis on popular orchids. Orchid care, including watering, light, temperature, and repotting will be covered. Plenty of beautiful pictures will be included. The goal is to convince you that while orchids can be tricky to grow, they are not impossible, and orchids make a great hobby!

Master Gardener Volunteer, Carol Bayles has been growing orchids for almost ten years and her collection has grown to 45 orchids. She joined the Southern Tier Orchid Society, which meets monthly in Endicott, in 2015 and is currently the President, Newsletter Editor and Show Chair. She is still new enough to orchids to relate to the challenges of the beginner orchid grower.
