MGHC Hosts Free Public Gardening Class "All About Orchids" Via Zoom

  • Wednesday, October 13, 2021

The Master Gardeners of Hamilton County, in association with the University of Tennessee Extension, continue their Third Saturday Gardening Classes online via Zoom.

The next class takes place this Saturday at 10 a.m. with “All About Orchids,” presented by 
Master Gardener Charles Davidson.

To register for the Zoom link to access this free public class, go to: https://mghc.org/calendar/third-saturday-class-all-about-orchids/.

Master Gardener Charles Davidson said, “Orchids are a large and diverse family of plants. The Orchid family has 25,000 species with countless hybrids and they are adapted to nearly
every habitat. The endless variety of colors, textures, forms, fragrances and fascinating places
of origin make learning about and growing orchids a rich and rewarding hobby.

"My presentation will cover the seven commonly grown orchids, the conditions required to grow 
them successfully, as well as tips and techniques for repotting and propagating these 
fascinating plants. You, too, can grow and enjoy orchids in your own home.”
