Since 1945 the Oregon Orchid Society has represented the Portland and Vancouver area with a strong tradition of celebrating the propogation and conservation of the orchid, nature's most diverse and largest plant family. We are made up of a wide spectrum of enthusiastic orchid hobbyists, judges and vendors. For over half a century we have been providing the Portland area and the greater Northwest with quality speakers, educational materials and fantastic orchid shows. We have formally published three books that are used across the country and our annual spring show is the largest orchid event in the Pacific Northwest.

The Oregon Orchid Society is a non-profit organization that emphasizes conservation of native orchid habitat and would love your participation! Our general meetings are held the third Tuesday of each month at 7:00 P.M. in the heart of Portland at the Ambridge Event Center, 1333 NE MLK Blvd, Portland, Oregon. Each meeting features a lecture or other educational program and a display of blooming plants. Visitors are always welcome! Membership is open to anyone interested in orchids.

We welcome you to peruse our website.  We hope you find it an enjoyable, educational and inspirational experience! And if you came here looking for our 2012 Show Dates, they're set! Mark your calendar for April 14-15 of 2012 for the largest orchid show in the Pacific Northwest.
