From Sadness Grows Something Beautiful
Surprisingly, it wasn’t until recently that there was a National Orchid Day. Mike and Faith Young were volunteers at an orchid reserve in Mexico and fell in love with the species. On April 16, 2014, they experienced a great tragedy losing their daughter during childbirth. The daughter was named Orchid Faith. A year later, the couple set forth to raise money to register April 16th with the Official National Day Registrar as National Orchid Day. They quickly exceeded their fund raising goal thanks to the generosity of friends and family. 

Today, we celebrate April 16th as National Orchid Day. To learn more, visit NationalOrchidDay.com.

Be inspired and share your love of orchids with friends and family. 


Happy Blooming with Better-Gro!
