March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb, the theme for this month’s AHA Night in New Bedford “Hear me roar”, prompts Gallery 65 artist Kim Barry of Mattapoisett, to bring us into the month with a softer touch, Orchids! Kim will present a display of her large decorative plant containers, resplendent with orchids. She will give an orchid potting demonstration and impart information about orchid species and care. A variety of orchids and orchid pots will be on sale during the evening.
Some of the pots that will be displayed during this AHA Night, Thursday March 8th, were originally made for President Obama and his family. Kim was asked by Martha’s Vineyard Orchid Grower, Wendy Oliver and floral artist, Mariko Kawaguchi to create custom containers for the President and his family to enjoy during their stay at Blue Heron Farm this past summer.
Kim will be available to answer questions from 5:00-9:00 Demonstration: 6:30 – 7:30
