People in the Noosa area just love their orchids, and that’s not only because the four-decades old Noosa District Orchid and Foliage Society (NDOFS) has around 100 members and held their huge Spring Orchid Show at Cooroy last weekend.
Noosaville Bunnings is also very aware of how popular orchids are here.
“We sell more orchids than any other Bunnings in the whole of Queensland,” Noosaville Bunnings Lifestyle Team supervisor Jessica McInnes said.
“They just fly off the shelves, and we are not the biggest store, either. We also have an in-store horticulturalist to assist people with plant choices.”
A few weeks ago Bunnings invited NDOFS to participate in a garden expo event to promote their spring show, and NDOFS members talked to many orchid shoppers about growing orchids and learning more through the society and at the show.
“Our spring show was very successful,” NDOFS president Trevor Cook said.
“All the regional clubs around entered. We appreciated the opportunity to promote the show at Bunnings and we aren’t surprised they sell so many orchids. This is a great area for growing them and we encourage anyone interested to come along to our monthly meetings and learn more.”
