2015 Western North Carolina Orchid Society Annual Show

The North Carolina Arboretum will herald spring with the Western North Carolina Orchid Society Annual Show on March 28th and 29th.

This is the premier orchid show in the southeast, and is free to Arboretum Society members or with the standard parking fee ($12 per personal vehicle).

Thousands of orchids fill the Education Center of the Arboretum in this show, which is one of the largest in the southeast. This year’s theme, “Orchid Shangri-La,” will be interpreted in carefully crafted displays by world-class orchid growers and regional orchid societies.
