Learn how you can incorporate hardy orchids into your orchid collection and how to successfully grow them in your backyard. The June 15 Smithsonian Associates workshop features a demonstration on how to plant a Cypripedium orchid. The instructor is Barb Schmidt, and the class will be recorded. $30 for Smithsonian Associates members, $40 for nonmembers. Register, and access materials list, at www.smithsonianassociates.org.
