Orchid Lovers & Shoppers

This weekend The Village Shops on Sanibel Island will be holding its 15th annual orchid show. Beautiful, healthy plants from Marilyn's Orchids will be offered for sale. There will be classes on how to care for and repot these georgeous plants all weekend long. The Village Shops are at 2340 Periwinkle Way and the show runs from 10-5 each day.

The orchid show has a bonus. The Village Shops are holding a sidewalk sale this weekend as well, so you can purchase beautiful plants and wander through the shops to see the many find items on sale that will make your gifts memorable and very much appreciated this holiday.

I love orchids and they are amazingly simple to keep growing and blooming for years and years with little care. They are my type of plant as they actually do better with neglect than too much care! If you work or are a busy person, these plants are for you. This year since everyone is watching their cash, they will make fabulous gifts because the blooms last for months on many varieties, so your gift will take center stage for weeks and months and bring great beauty into the recepients life and fond memories of you, the gift giver!

And when you stop at The Village Shops, you park and walk right into the center so you don't have to park and walk a quarter of a mile to get to your first destination. The destination is conveniently located within a few feet of your car! This is a great start to holiday shopping with beautiful plants and luxurious shopping all in the same location. Hope you can make it.
