Dorothy Bennett, Chair of the West Palm Beach Center, said, "We're excited about bringing orchid judging to these lovely and historic gardens. We welcome orchid lovers to visit the monthly judging and observe the process. It's a great way to learn about orchids. Most meetings include educational presentations that begin at 12:30, followed by judging at 2:00. Everyone is encouraged to bring their orchids in for judging." 

The South Florida area is known as the "orchid capital of the world" with its ideal climate for orchid growing. Thousands of South Florida orchid lovers have a wonderful opportunity to advance their orchid knowledge through the efforts of the WPB Judging Center's activities.
