Orchid Sale and Symposium

Did you know that the orchid was Mina Edison's favorite flower? This event will cover many topics on growing orchids. Workshops will be held outdoors, under the oak trees and surrounding areas. Vendors will have rare and unusual orchids for sale. Orchids will also be available in the Garden Shoppe.

A daily ticket is required to attend the workshops ($20 for Edison Ford members; $25 for non-members); the sale portion of the event is free to attend. Tickets do not include tours or admission to the museum, lab or riverside of the property. A limited number of garden carts will be available; guests are encouraged to bring their own. Food and beverage vendors will be onsite with refreshments available for purchase. Buy tickets online at edisonford.org.
