About Us

Welcome! We are lucky to reside in one of the best parts of the country for the cultivation of orchids in the home, greenhouse, and garden. It is our hope that our site, meetings, and our members will spark your enthusiasm to give this most satisfying hobby a try!

​SFOS is a California 501(c)3 non-profit organization composed of individuals and orchid related businesses interested in the culture and appreciation of orchids. Our mission is to foster the culture and conservation of orchids and to promote orchid education to our members and to the public. We are affiliated with the American Orchid Society (AOS).
​
Since the turn of the millennium, the SFOS has donated over $75,000 in support of local horticultural education and botanical gardens, botanical research, and international conservation efforts.

What Our Members Are Saying

Picture

Chris Mende

We are group of quite diverse people whose deep love of orchids, orchid lore, culture, conservation, photography and discovery trips, bind us together. We each have many plant interests and study and learn continuously. For most of us the greenhouse or garden is delight and solace, and we revel in figuring things out, solving the puzzles of each plant. Among the group are not only many experienced orchid hobbyists, but also some highly skilled professional growers, authors, photographers, and even American Orchid Society judges who are generous with sharing their knowledge. Our show and tell display tables at the monthly meetings are often quite breathtaking! And of course we put on an amazing annual large winter show as well as a smaller summer one. Attendance is fun, but active participation and volunteering are the best way to really enjoy the full experience of being a member of SFOS.
