Orchid Garden Fundraiser in the Broadmoor this Saturday

If you've never been in a gigantic backyard greenhouse or have never seen a multitude of mature and lovingly maintained orchids (not those wimpy things they sell at garden centers and grocery stores) then you must come and see this amazing collection.  This place in our own neighborhood looks like the inspiration of the set for the greenhouse and its Herbology lessons taught at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!

If you come, bring your checkbook because they can be a little pricey but sold at a considerable discount to prices normally fetched at Bay Area event showings.

Presented by Fred Shull, along with Paul and Phyllis Chim.  Paul Chim is an award winning orchid cultivator and has been invited to China to teach his hobby to orchid enthusiasts there.
