OUR HISTORYThe Tropical Orchid Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating its members on the care and culture of orchids.
The Society was organized on October 20, 1967, as an outgrowth of orchid culture classes taught at the Pine Jog Conservation Center. On August 20, 1968, the Tropical Orchid Society became affiliated with the American Orchid Society, then located at Harvard Botanical Gardens, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The American Orchid Society is currently located at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, 109 Old Cutler Road, in Coral Gables, Florida 33156. |
For many years our Society fulfilled one of our main goals: that of exhibiting a wide variety of orchids to the public by presenting our annual orchid show in the Palm Beach Mall every Palm Sunday weekend. Our first American Orchid Society juried show was presented in April, 1970 and became an immediate trend-setter by establishing the precedent of mall orchid shows.
Today, the Tropical Orchid Society holds a members plant sale in conjunction with the Mounts Botanical Gardens Spring & Fall Plant Sales.
