Welcome to the Marin Orchid Society.

Many members began with a small orchid collection which multiplied perhaps slowly then exponentially taking over various areas of the house. Some graduated to adding greenhouses! MOS is a non-profit organization comprised of hobbyists and professionals who are enthusiastic about sharing our joy of cultivating orchids.

Regardless of expertise level we are passionate about continuing to learn and become better growers. Our monthly meetings give us this opportunity.

Guest Speakers:

Both local and internationally renowned speakers, educate us with their expertise. Their presentations often allow us to visually view orchids growing in their natural habitat worldwide. Speakers often provide plants (beyond the supermarket varieties) for an opportunity table; a great way to add new species to our collection!

Show & Tell:

Members proudly show their blooming plants and share growing tips.

Social Activities:

We enjoy fun events such as greenhouse tours, orchid show displays, auctions, orchid trivia, picnics and more.

Education:

We host public educational sessions, display members’ orchids at Bay Area orchid shows, cooperating with other Societies to encourage the interest in and culture of orchids. Orchid conservation and habitant preservation are also a vital MOS focus.

Monthly Meetings:

Meetings are held on the 4th Tuesday of the month (except August, November & December) 6:30-9:30 p.m. often at: Congregation Kol Shofar, 215 Blackfield Dr., Tiburon, CA. Orchid doctor to diagnose problems available.
