About Albany Orchid Society Inc.
Founded by an enthusiastic group of growers and volunteers in 1981, the Albany Orchid Society Inc. is keen to promote the culture of orchids in the Albany area.
We are a friendly and enthusiastic group who welcome new members.
Our activities include monthly meetings , guest speakers and nursery visits.
Each year we hold shows in Winter and Spring where members compete for prizes and trophies and are able to sell their plants.
We also hold other displays celebrating special events such as Easter, Mother’s Day and the annual Albany Agricultural Show. Orchids can be purchased at these events.
