17th Annual International Orchid Fair.

See unique and rare orchids at this 17th annual orchid fair.

There will be an AOS sanctioned judging event with vendors, lectures and plant sale. Thousands of orchids will grace the grounds, some in exhibits, some for sale. Learn from the experts how to care for your newly purchased orchids at “Orchids 101,” an ongoing lecture series on culture and care.

Orchid-related products, artistic pottery, paintings and books will also be available. Shop early at our new Members Only Pre-sale on Friday afternoon, 3:30-5 p.m., and enjoy a preview of the orchid exhibit in the Ecke Building.

To register your plants for judging, bring them to the Ecke Building on Thursday, Sept. 29, 4–7 p.m. and Friday Sept. 30, 9 a.m.–1:30 p.m.
