Every year the San Francisco Orchid Society hosts two orchid shows in San Francisco: 
Pacific Orchid Exposition (POE) & Orchids in the Park (OITP).

Click here to go to signup page to volunteer for POE 2026. Shifts available Tuesday Feb 24 for setup through the end of the show on Sunday March 1.
​
Setting up these shows takes a lot of time and commitment from society members, friends, family, and volunteers. We reach out to the community to ask for your help in making these great events possible.

​An organization is as strong as its active members. The SFOS needs volunteers for its monthly functions, Spring and Fall orchid shows.

All members of the Society are encouraged to participate in the POE and Orchids in the Park by volunteering to work in the different committees which are necessary to run the shows. Docents are needed for the POE. Bringing blooming plants for the display tables is always appreciated.

It’s a great opportunity to talk to the “experts” who know enormous amounts about orchid culture and to meet your fellow SFOS members. Look for announcements regarding volunteers in the SFOS Newsletter, website and at the monthly meetings.
