San Francisco Orchid Society
Orchid Club Meetings
in San Francisco
What to expect at an SFOS meeting — and why joining the Bay Area's orchid community is the best thing you can do for your plants.
San Francisco's Orchid Club Since 1950
The San Francisco Orchid Society holds monthly meetings from January through October, bringing together growers of all experience levels for an evening of education, plant trading, and community. Whether you've just bought your first Phalaenopsis or you've been growing for thirty years, you'll find people at your level — and people who can help you get to the next one.
Guests are welcome at most meetings. You don't need to be a member to attend your first meeting — come and see if it's right for you before committing.
