Wide Variety of Rare and Unusual Orchids Lectures on Culture and Care AOS and Ribbon Judging


Orchids

Join us for the splendidly colorful San Diego International Orchid Fair where countless varieties of orchids grace the grounds, some in exhibits and some for sale. Shop early at our new Members Only Pre-sale on Friday afternoon and enjoy a preview of the orchid exhibit in the Ecke Building. Another great reason to join or renew your Garden membership!

Learn from the experts how to care for your newly purchased orchids at “Orchids 101,” our ongoing lectures on culture and care.

Have your orchid judged. The show is an official AOS (American Orchid Society) judging event and there will be ribbon judging as well. To register your plants for judging bring them to the Ecke Building on Thursday, September 29, 4 – 7 pm and Friday September 30, 9 am – 1:30 pm. Someone will be available to help you classify your plants. Please make sure they are pest-free, flowers are staked, and plants are clean. Judging begins at 2 pm sharp.
