Joining our Society provides you the opportunity to:

- learn how to grow these beautiful plants in your home, on a windowsill, or your own greenhouse
- meet people from a wide range of backgrounds, but with a common interest in orchids.
Interests of our members vary widely. Some grow "just for fun", while others grow one or two orchids and simply love looking at the wide array of plants. Some study the botanical aspects of the more than 35,000 species. Some are serious hybridizers, while others study the various trends of hybridization. Others are both scholars of orchids and dedicated to improving the quality of cultivated orchids as American Orchid Society Judges.
