A Show 15 Years in the Making
The Orchid Society of the Ozarks has been putting this event together for a decade and a half. What started as a community gathering for orchid enthusiasts has grown into one of the more unique seasonal events you’ll find in Fayetteville. If you’ve never been, this is a good year to start.
What You’ll Find Inside
Hundreds of blooming orchids will be on display throughout the weekend, and a wide variety of plants will be available for you to take home. On-site care classes are included with your $5 admission, giving you a hands-on look at what it actually takes to keep an orchid alive and thriving — no prior experience needed.
Three Days, One Ticket
The show runs Friday through Sunday, so you have the whole weekend to work with. At $5 a ticket, it’s one of the more accessible events on the spring calendar in Fayetteville this March.
