Discover the World of Orchids

February 17, 2023 – April 30, 2023

United States Botanic Garden Conservatory

The United States Botanic Garden—yet another place I’ve never been. How can that be? With this exhibit, I’m hoping to make it there finally.

I’ve truly missed all the beautiful orchids at Behnke’s, especially when The National Capital Orchid Society would set up their show and sale at our nursery. I hope you can visit this event if you love orchids as much as I do!

Check out Susan Harris of Garden Rant, where she chats with the U.S. Botanic Garden’s orchid show designer and grower at the USBG Orchid Show.

Stephanie Fleming

Stephanie Fleming was raised at Behnke’s Nurseries in Beltsville. Her Mom, Sonja, was one of Albert & Rose Behnke’s four children. She was weeding from the moment she could walk and hiding as soon as she was old enough to run, so many weeds, so little time. Although she quickly learned how to pull out a perennial and get taken off of weed pulling duty.
