About the Sacramento Orchid Society (SOS)
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 organization currently includes nearly 190 households and over 270 people. 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.
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.
Joining our Society: Memberships are $24 per year per household. To join, click here.
Meetings: First Wednesday of every month. Meetings Start 7:00pm at Odd Fellows Hall, 1831 Howe Ave. (921-0569), Sacramento. For more information on our meetings, dates and specifics click: SOS MEETINGS
Library: The library contains many books, videos and catalogs for use by our members. Use your membership card to check out interesting reading material from the society librarian.
Plant Raffle: Our guest speaker normally supplies plants for the evening's raffle table. This is a fantastic opportunity to obtain great plants at a very low cost!
Show & Tell: Our members bring plants to each meeting for the enjoyment of others. This is our opportunity to brag and show off our personal achievements. For every plant you bring to Show & Tell, you receive one free raffle ticket.
Refreshments: Refreshments are provided by the membership on a sign-up basis. When you bring snacks to a monthly meeting, you receive ten free raffle tickets.
Plant Sales Table: The plant sales table is provided for members to bring in extra plants from home that they wish to sell. This is an opportunity for all members to obtain nice orchid plants at very reasonable prices.
Annual Orchid Plant Sale & Show: Our members take pride in participating in one of the most attended and well presented floral shows in the Sacramento area.
Special events: The society occasionally participates in special events such as the Sacramento Zoo's Blooming Crazy days where they offer advice and plant sales. If you're interested in the society providing an information table/booth, free plant clinics and re-potting, contact us!
