Ironwood Estate Orchids is offering new revised orchid classes in 2008. 
There are now two types of classes. 
All classes are held at the greenhouse.

The Beginner Class:  This is for people who are not familiar with growing orchids. 
This class will teach you how to care for orchids, going over the special growing needs of orchids.  You will also learn about reblooming orchids.  The class will cover major most-usually grown genera of orchids.  You will receive written class material which you will keep.  You get to ask questions, make notes and learn what orchids you can grow in your environment.
After the class ends, you will be able to purchase orchids, decorative pots and orchid supplies.

The Intermediate Class:  This is for people who are early in growing orchids, only growing them for a short time or only have a few and need more information.
The class will go over the basics of growing orchids to make sure that everyone is clear on the basics.  You get to ask questions and make sure that you are clear on growing basics.

Then the class will move to repotting orchids. The class will instruct you on the why and how to repot for the major most-usually grown genera of orchids.  You will get to do a hands-on repotting of a small orchid in order to get the feel of what to do when you repot your orchids.  You will get to ask questions, make notes and receive written instructions on repotting orchids.
After the class ends, you will be able to purchase orchids, decorative pots, potting supplies and other orchid supplies.
