Upcoming & Past Meetings

Meetings are normally held the second Monday of each month with the exception of July and August. Meetings typically run from 7:00pm-9:00pm. Our meetings feature informative programs, guest speakers, orchid exhibits, plant raffles, and sales. One Meeting each year features a special auction. The auction is a chance for members to sell their extra plants and to bid on new ones to add to their collection.

Meetings are free and open to the public, however we encourage you to sign up for a membership to support the society and receive all the benefits the society has to offer.
