Orchids for Amateurs

++

 

The show features dozens of award winning blooming orchid entries from various genera, both species and hybrids grown to perfection by society member hobbyists competing for ribbons, trophies, and awards. Local California commercial growers, nurseries, and well known international vendors will be offering a wide range and very unique selection of species and hybrid orchids of various genera, companion plants, succulents, bromeliads, hoyas, ferns, exotic and rare plants, foliage plants, fruit trees, growing supplies, and lots more for sale. Many of the orchids can be grown outdoors in our Southern California area.

The show and sale are both included with your paid entrance admission fee payable at the entrance directly to the South Bay Orchid Society. There are no pre-entry tickets available or reservation tickets available. No exceptions, entry fee must be paid to be admitted to the event. We accept cash, checks, Zelle, and major credit cards only.

Guests and show attendees who have pre-ordered plants from any vendors must make previous arrangements directly with the vendors to pick up their plants. South Bay Orchid Society will not be obligated to facilitate, expedite, or reserve any sales transactions between guests and vendors.

An hourly raffle will be held throughout the day (your ticket is only good for current hour and you must be present to win and claim the prize when the winning ticket is drawn). SBOS members are not eligible to participate in the drawing. A plant hotel will be available to house your purchases while you enjoy the show and during your visit to the gallery at the Palos Verdes Art Center. Plenty of easy access with ample free parking and is handicapped accesible in the lot and on the street.

Our membership/information desk will be fully staffed to answer your questions and you will be able to sign up as a future member and join the South Bay Orchid Society.

The gallery at the Palos Verdes Art Center which is the co-sponsor of the show will be open during show/sale hours, and we encourage attendees to tour the paintings, ceramics, photography, sculptures, and various works of art and exhibits.

Come join us and enjoy the blooms, fragrance, the friendship, and all the fun. Hope to see you at our show and sale.
