Puerto Vallarta Botanical Garden Orchid & Plant Talks Continue
Get ready for a captivating journey through the world of orchids and plants as Vallarta Botanical Garden hosts a series of engaging talks in January and February. Whether you’re an orchid enthusiast or a nature lover, these presentations are not to be missed.
Orchids – Here, There, Everywhere
Starting on January 8, 2024, at 11 AM, T.J. Hartung, President of the Vallarta Orchid Society, will kick off the series with “Orchids of Mexico.” Delve into the incredible diversity of Mexican orchids, showcasing the stunning variety these blooms offer. Then, on January 22, discover “Vanilla – Mexico’s Gift.” Explore the history and various uses of this remarkable plant.
The orchid festivities continue in February. On February 5, test your orchid knowledge with “Orchid Trivia” and see how much you know about these captivating flowers. Then, on February 19, prepare to be delighted with “Fragrant Orchids,” a presentation that will introduce you to the delightful world of orchid aromas.
All talks in the “Orchids – Here, There, Everywhere” series are presented by T.J. Hartung, a registered speaker with the American Orchid Society and the Canadian Orchid Congress. These talks are not only captivating but also FREE, offering a wealth of interesting information.
The venue for these talks is the Vallarta Botanical Garden office in Zona Romantica, I.L. Vallarta 399, which is conveniently located just half a block south of Basilio Badillo.
The Power of Plants
In addition to the orchid series, Sandra Cesca, author of Tropical Plants of Vallarta and an expert in botany, will present the “Power of Plants” series, commencing on January 15 with “What’s in a Name?” Gain insight into the difference between the Aztec and Linnaeus plant classifications. On January 29, we’ll explore Mexican Culinary Herbs.
In February, she will host a talk on “Mexican Medicinal Herbs” on February 12. With a background in botany and higher education, Cesca promises an illuminating perspective on this subject. Then, on February 26, you’ll gain insight into the communication methods of plants in Sandra’s presentation, “Flower Power: What Do Plants Tell Us?”
As with the orchid talks, all “Power of Plants” presentations are FREE and designed to be both engaging and informative. These events will also take place at the Vallarta Botanical Garden office in Zona Romantica, I.L. Vallarta 399, half a block south of Basilio Badillo.
If the January and February talks are well-received, both series are expected to continue into March, offering even more opportunities to explore the fascinating world of orchids and plants. https://banderasnews.com/
