Orchids 101
Delicate and colorful, orchids are the stylish residents of many greenhouses and capture the eye of many garden-goers and nursery visitors. If you’ve ever wanted an orchid but have been intimidated by its care, this November Nature Series program is for you! Join the Friends of the Tanger Arboretum as we welcome speaker Trey Pyfer manager of Little Brook Orchids, for a fun and informative talk on orchids. Learn about basic care for a variety of orchids, as well as how to identify orchids, properly water them, and monitor their growth patterns.
Trey Pyfer is the manager of Little Brook Orchids, an eight-greenhouse orchid nursery and retail store in Lancaster, PA. For more than 21 years, Trey has responsibly supervised and cared for a large number of orchids, including “boarded” orchids and tropical plants kept for customers in the winter or non-blooming seasons. Little Brook Orchids has received over 35 national awards from the American Orchid Society, including having raised orchids recognized as ‘Best Plant in Show’ in several regional orchid shows.
