Wagga tradie John Dawe, who “fell in love with the uniqueness of the orchids”, said growers from around the region will descend on Wagga to showcase more than 300 plants.
Mr Dawe hinted the festival may feature a plant worth $1300, which is “very slow growing but produces absolutely stunning yellow flowers with red dots”.
Orchid growers will bring a wide array of plants from as far afield as Albury and Beechworth.
Glasshouse doors open on Saturday from 9am to 5pm and on Sunday between 9am to 4pm at the Glenfield Park Community Centre, 1 Tanda Place Wagga.
Entry costs $5 for adults and children go free.
