The Wonder of Orchids

Speaker: Arthur Chadwick – Owner, Chadwick and Son Orchids

Working with his father, a longtime orchid hobbyist, Arthur founded the company in 1989. They started with a greenhouse in Powhatan, Virginia and have expanded this venture to eleven greenhouses and a retail store in Richmond. Arthur will show how to bring a bit of the tropics into your home with these exotic flowering plants.  We are thrilled to have Arthur visit with us!

On Thursday, February 15, 2018 we welcome the Manager of Horticulture Collections Management and Education at Smithsonian Gardens, Cindy Brown. Her presentation will be:

Kirsten focused on best practices and resources promoted by Virginia Cooperative Extension that residents can use in a variety of landscaping. Whether you have a container or balcony, a shady woodland paradise, or a sunny hillside or hell-strip, there are many ways, large and small, that gardeners can do their part to keep a healthy, welcoming ecosystem going that will support our birds, bees, and butterflies.

We really appreciate the knowledge and service generously given to our Arlington community by our Master Gardeners through the Virginia Cooperative Extension.
