Orchids: Your Winter Escape at Mahoney's in Winchester

Escape winter and surround yourself with warm, lush color at
Mahoney’s fourth annual tropical event, Orchids:
Your Winter Escape
. From Saturday, February 8 through Sunday, February 16,
Mahoney’s in Winchester will fill their greenhouses with colorful and unique selections
of exotic orchids and houseplants, creating a lush, tropical rainforest for
anyone to visit.



“It’s amazing to see how much the
greenhouse transforms for this event,” says Natalie Decker, Marketing Manager
at Mahoney’s Garden Centers. “You actually feel as though you’ve stepped out of
cold, New England and into the warmth of a tropical rainforest. It’s a great
way to escape the wintry weather, experience beautiful displays of exotic color
and bask in the glorious smell of a rainforest.”



The event kicks-off with an
opening-day reception filled with a myriad of colors on Saturday, February 8
from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Wind your way through the tropical paradise while sampling
complimentary wine and cheese. The night will feature breathtaking displays of tropical
plants, including orchids, air plants, ferns, bromeliads, palms, succulents, and
more. It’s an excellent opportunity to find that special Valentine’s Day gift
that will last for months, even years.
