If you would like to learn about how to grow orchids from seed at home, please join me for an afternoon of how to sow and grow orchids from seed. This course will focus on how to do the entire process at home with readily available supplies.

Plus you can create your own hybrids and experiment as you please.

It’s an afternoon of learning and developing new skills in your orchid hobby. Admission is $20. The class size will be limited to 4 participants, so registration is needed in advance. Please send enquires for registration to stevertd2010@gmail.com.
