ORCHID Grove will open its gates to the public on September 14 and 15 at 17 Barkston Ct, Buderim, from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM. 

This annual event, set against a stunning backdrop of waterfalls, ponds, and subtropical surrounds, showcases hundreds of vibrant orchids. 

The garden also features historical farm machinery, an antique Southern Cross windmill, bird aviaries, and more. Funds raised from the event support children in poverty-stricken areas of rural Vietnam. 

Visitors can enjoy a café, purchase flowering orchid plants, and view photographs of the charity’s impact. Entry is $7, with free admission for children under 15.
