Membership to the Oregon Orchid Society is more than belonging to a garden club. The society is made of some of the Northwest’s most experienced orchid growers as well as people new to the orchid “obsession”.

• As a member you are supporting education via our various books and the monthly speakers that we bring to Portland.
• As a member you are directly supporting conservation of orchids in their native habitat – including native orchids in Oregon.
• As a member you are assisting the society in community outreach including supporting the largest orchid show in the Pacific Northwest.
• As a member you are supporting the propagation of orchids as we continue to support the American Orchid Society and the Northwest Judging Center.

Membership is open to everyone! Oregon Orchid Society membership should be considered by anyone who is:

• Interested in the Orchid Hobby
• Concerned with Orchid Conservation and Preservation
• A supporter of growing or hybridizing quality, award winning orchids
• Wanting to learn more about orchids and how to grow them
