The discussion will be conducted by T. J. Hartung of the Vallarta Orchid Society, and is free of charge. There is a small entrance fee to the gardens for non-members (60 pesos).

    If you have an orchid that hasn’t bloomed is several years, you are invited to bring it with you. Learn how to care for your orchids, and enjoy the botanical gardens at the same time.

    The Vallarta Botanical Gardens has a large collection of orchids and other plants from the area. They have many orchids for sale, as well as potting materials and a variety of pots. Also, you’ll find a restaurant, a swimming hole in the river, shade houses where young plants get their start and a number of trails through the jungle areas. The gardens will conduct a walking tour starting at 1 PM, with a knowledgeable guide to answer your questions.
