At Our Monthly Meetings:
We (SFOS) are an independent non-profit business, but also an official "affiliate society" of the AOS and we host their "Pacific Central Judging Center" in order to offer real time judging at our monthly meetings on Tuesday nights - people bring in plants at 6pm to register for judging and get an answer (award or not) typically by 8pm - judges meet in parallel to the main meeting.
The judges photograph and document all awards in a central database.
Pacific Central Judging Center is happening at our in-person monthly meetings at golden gate park, we judge orchids and on the 3rd Saturday each month from 9am - noon at the Filoli Historic House in Woodside, CA
Plant entry 9:00 AM Judging 9:30 AM
There is no charge to enter Filoli for orchid judging
