The vibrant flower has been revered for centuries for its exoticism and inspirational qualities. But these treasures, long part of rich folkloric traditions, have been largely forgotten by many Nashvillians. Come hear author of “Nashville’s Native Orchids: Astonishing Science and Mysterious Folklore” share her knowledge and enthusiasm. You’ll learn how to identify, find, and conserve native orchids in your neighborhood. Copies of the book will be available for purchase.
