Orchid Festival Returns to Kew Gardens
Kew Gardens celebrates four weeks of Orchids. Running February 9 – March 3, the world’s preeminent botanical garden showcases “a sea of exotic orchids” in the Princess of Wales Conservatory near London. Kew’s extensive orchid collections fill the festival with lush, tropical beauty. Besides offering a great escape from dreary winter weather, the event provides a romantic backdrop for Valentine’s celebrations. Tickets can be purchased in advance online.
Kew is also offering “Orchids for Beginners,” a one day course on February 20 which covers orchid care basics. Space is limited for the class, so register before it fills up.
