The Mackay & District Orchid Society has been in full bloom over the past few months, hosting successful events and supporting the local community. In July, their Winter Orchid Show at the Mackay & District Senior Citizens' Centre drew a vibrant crowd, with a stunning display of orchids.
The Society also teamed up with the Pioneer River Orchid & Plant Association to donate funds to YIRS, helping homeless youth in Mackay. They followed this up with a charming Father’s Day plant display at Bunnings.
On September 7th, new members gathered at Orchids Mackay for an informative workshop on growing and caring for orchids, complete with a sausage sizzle and sweets for a laid-back finish. The following weekend, the club attended the Orchid Extravaganza in Queens Park, offering plant accessories and a raffle.
Looking ahead, the big Spring Orchid Show is set for October 12th and 13th at the Senior Citizens’ Centre. For just $2 admission, visitors can enjoy a spectacular orchid display, potting demonstrations, and grab a tea or coffee with homemade treats.
The next general meeting is on September 19th, and all orchid enthusiasts are welcome to attend.
