VISITORS to a Cheshire garden centre this weekend will be able to get some free advice about orchids at an event dedicated to the exotic plants.

Staff at Tarporley Garden Centre on Forest Road in Cotebrook will be hosting an Orchid Weekend on Saturday, March 6 and Sunday, March 7 to give customers advice on the care of orchids.

Neil MacWilliam, Manager of the garden centre said: “As well as the free advice provided during the Orchid Weekend, we will have displays of orchids on show running up to and including Mothering Sunday on March 14. These exotic and beautiful plants make lovely gifts for mums.

“There will be some special offers during the weekend for Gardening Club members, including a free orchid pot*, worth £5, with every £14.99 twin-stem Phalaenopsis orchid.

“ We will be giving out free ‘how to care for your orchid’ leaflets during the event. Both offers and the leaflet are available while stocks last.”
