The Sacramento Orchid Society was founded in 1947 as an educational organization dedicated to providing information on the cultivation of orchids to the greater Sacramento community.
|
The Society's very active membership grows an almost unimaginable number of orchid species and hybrids on windowsills, patios, in yards, under lights and in greenhouses.
Monthly Meetings feature expert speakers from around the world, opportunities for members to sell plants to one another, a raffle of plants, and a delightful measure of fellowship and good times.
All are welcome. You do not have to be a member to attend our meetings. You are welcome as a guest. Meetings are FREE and there's plenty of free parking.

Our Next General Meeting
NEXT MEETING: WEDNESDAY May 1, 2013
Speaker -- Bruce Rogers, author of The Orchid Whisperer, Expert Secrets for Growing Beautiful Orchids, will be our speaker this month, touch on "Orchid travels, better orchid growing, and the culture of Sobralias". He will provide the raffle table and have copies of his book for sale, too. Bruce began his professional career in Atlanta, growing orchids in the greenhouses at Piedmont Park. He later returned to San Francisco as head grower in the boarding department and as a hybridizer of Vandas. In the 1980's he began his own orchid consulting and management company. In 2002, he joined Terry Root of The Orchid Zone and co-founded OZGARDENS, devoted to growing and hybridizing Sobralias. He is on the Advisory Council at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers and is the Ambassador for the San Francisco Orchid Society.
Join us for what promises to be an entertaining and enjoyable adventure and come away with the information you need to grow better and healthier plants!
