The Orchid Show

Nature finds a way

The Orchid Show is back, celebrating the unexpected verve of wild orchids—in an old secret garden, a forgotten forest, and the whimsical spaces of our imagination (say, atop a 1900s-era piano and reflected in an infinity mirror, for starters). Soak up the radiance of 10,000 blooming orchids in the quiet of winter.

Buy tickets starting in early February 2022.

​​Help protect yourself and others:
