ORCHIDS IN BLOOM AND OUR HEARTS WERE FULL...

Special note of thanks from A Loving Spoonful

Warmest Thanks to our supporters, vendors and attendees who helped made the 2008 Vancouver Orchid Festival a blooming success! The Vancouver Orchid Festival - Tender, Loving, Care was held at VanDusen Botanical Garden's Floral Hall in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on March 29 and 30, 2008. This fundraising event helped raise money and awareness for the Pacific Northwest Judging Center Vancouver Supplemental judging site (located in Richmond). With the warm support of our 1500 visitors who donated canned food products to A Loving Spoonful, we received nine full boxes of canned goods!! The event was an opportunity to promote and to inform the public about the services of the judging site as well as support A Loving Spoonful. A very special thanks to botanical artist Gerard Brender A Brandis of Stratford, Ontario for the use of his fantastic engraving of Trichopilia suavis. Many thanks to GardenWorks and Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory for their continued support and their donations. We look forward to our next event blooming in 2009!


The Vancouver Orchid Festival expresses thanks to all the volunteers who generously volunteered their time, energy and spirit for this year's fundraiser. A Loving Spoonful and the Pacific Northwest Judging Center would like to thank the support of our sponsors, vendors and donors for this special event.

Thank you to all visitors who attended this unique fundraising event. Individuals and groups came from near and far to participate and enjoy the flower-filled festival! In gratitude for the generous canned food donations and on behalf of A Loving Spoonful, we thank you for caring so much to make a difference in the lives of others!
