The Utah Orchid Society
Some information: The Society was founded in 1970 by David Roskelly and Zur Brough, then owners of Orchids Bountiful. Orchids Bountiful was noted for having a large collection of orchid species. 2010 marks the fortieth anniversary of the Society.
The Society's goals are to promote an appreciation of the beauty of this unique family of plants and to educate member as well as the public as to how to cultivate them in the home or in the greenhouse. In addition, we are committed to the preservation of orchids in their natural habitats such that they will be available for future generations.
Membership: Society members range from specialists with large collects to new growers who might only have a few windowsill plants. All are welcome.
Membership dues are $25 per year for a single person and $35 per year for a family. The public is invited to attend. We meet at the Utah Associated Garden Clubs Garden Center, 1602 E 2100 S, Salt Lake City, Utah.
Meetings start at 7:30 pm. Please review the Tentative Calendar of Events page for information on actual dates. Membership and other questions can be directed to Walt at utorchidsoc@comcast.net.
