Orchid Events - Monthly Meetings of the St. Augustine Orchid Society
The St. Augustine Orchid Society meets on the first Tuesday of each month at Watson Realty, located at 3505 US 1 South in St Augustine. Come to the Conference Room of Watson Realty by the back parking lot. The meeting begins with a plant sale at 7 pm followed by a presentation by a commercial orchid grower or recognized orchid expert at 7:15. Members bring their orchids for display on the monthly show table. The meeting closes with a plant raffle and auction where members can expand their collections. It's fun and informative for beginner and experienced growers. Visitors are always welcome. If you decide to join after coming to a few meetings, a membership application form is available.
