About the Event

Join the San Diego Botanic Garden as they present their 6th Annual Orchids Showcase. This year’s theme is ‘Orchids in the Wild,’ inviting guests to discover how these remarkable blooms appear in nature, growing in unexpected places and forming intricate relationships with the ecosystems around them. Open Wednesday through Monday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., the immersive month-long showcase transforms the Garden’s Dickinson Family Education Conservatory into a lush, living display inspired by orchids’ natural habitats. Special events include a Members Preview on May 1 and an after-hours Orchids at Night experience for guests 21+ on May 21. Visitors can also enjoy weekend orchid marketplaces, hands-on workshops, and full access to the Garden’s 37 acres.
