First Ladies and Their Orchids – Lecture, book-signing with Art Chadwick

In this captivating presentation, Art Chadwick will reveal the extraordinary beauty, rich history, and timeless allure of the magnificent Cattleya, also known as the "Queen of Orchids."

More than just a flower, the Cattleya has become a living symbol of elegance and prestige. For over a century, these spectacular orchids have been named in honor of America's First Ladies, creating a remarkable intersection of horticulture, history, and the White House. Drawing from his decades of expertise and personal experiences presenting orchids to First Ladies, Chadwick shares the fascinating stories behind these legendary blooms and the women they commemorate. Following the lecture, guests will have the opportunity to meet Art Chadwick, purchase signed copies of his books, and take home exceptional orchids from his renowned collection.
