 All of us at Behnke Nurseries are very excited to host the National Capital Orchid Society's 66th Annual Orchid Show at our Beltsville Garden Center. While we are all hoping that the furloughs come to a quick end, we were happy to be able to say "yes" to the NCOS when asked to serve as an alternate site to the National Arboretum. I hope everyone can find time this coming weekend to stop by and see this beautiful exhibition of blooming orchids. In addition to the display and talks, all of the orchid vendors will be at Behnke's as well. |
