Colour and fragrance fill Mid Valley Shopping Centre as hundreds of orchids come into bloom for Gippsland's premier winter orchid event. Whether you grow them already or have never owned one, the Winter Orchid Show is an easy, welcoming way to spend a winter weekend.
The Winter Orchid Show is presented by the Gippsland Orchid Club, a long-standing community group dedicated to the cultivation and appreciation of orchids across the region. The club brings together growers of all experience levels and uses events like this to share knowledge, celebrate the diversity of the plant family, and connect with the wider public.
Visitors can browse a spectacular display of cymbidiums, Australian native orchids, and top-class exotic varieties sourced from growers across Gippsland and beyond. Orchids are available for purchase, and live potting demonstrations give you practical skills to take home. Club members are on hand throughout both days for informal Q&A, so you can get personalised advice on caring for your own plants.
Events like this strengthen Latrobe City's identity as a place where community expertise and natural beauty come together in accessible, family-friendly ways. The Gippsland Orchid Club's commitment to free public events means locals and visitors alike can experience world-class horticulture without any barrier to entry.
The Winter Orchid Show runs from 9am to 5pm on Friday 21 and Saturday 22 August 2026 at Mid Valley Shopping Centre, Princes Drive, Morwell. Entry is free and no bookings are required. For more information contact Mid Valley Shopping Centre on (03) 5133 7022.
