For two days, over 20 vendors will fill the auditorium with an explosion of color and smells, exhibiting and selling thousands of blooming orchid plants, as well as presenting gorgeous displays. Accredited American Orchid Society judges will judge the orchids and displays presented by the region’s orchid societies and commercial and individual growers. There will also be educational orchid culture classes, accessories, growing supplies for sale, raffles, and experts on-site to answer questions.
The Sarasota Orchid Society is a non-profit society dedicated to the education, appreciation, and enjoyment of many varieties of orchids. The beautiful, tropical climate enjoyed by people living in Sarasota is ideal for the cultivation of these spectacular plants.
Come on out to the show and sale to meet an amazing group of happy orchid lovers, learn how to grow these spectacular blooms, or find a plant of your own just waiting for a new home!
Show admission is $5.00
