Orchid Fest

Orchid & Plant Festival at Sawgrass Nature Center

Step into a lush, family-friendly day of blooms, greenery, and local makers at the Orchid & Plant Festival at Sawgrass
Nature Center! Stroll through a vibrant marketplace featuring 30+ orchid, plant, and garden art vendors, discover
unique finds for your home and garden, and connect with fellow plant lovers

While you shop and explore, don’t miss the chance to meet some of our wildlife friends—a special SNC experience
that makes this festival more than just a plant sale. It’s a fun, feel-good outing that supports Sawgrass Nature
Center’s mission of wildlife rehabilitation, conservation, and education.
