Welcome

The Irish Orchid Society was founded to help make orchids part of mainstream horticulture. Orchids are for everyone!

We want to dispel the myth that they are difficult plants. Some are but many are not.

We also want to educate in aspects of their science, evolution and conservation.

Why join?

Monthly meetings at the Botanic Gardens where you will get expert advice on keeping your orchids alive and thriving!
Talks & workshops throughout the year from experienced growers
Quarterly printed journal "Pollinia" delivered to your door
Field trips to discover native Irish orchids...yes orchids grow in Ireland!
Sale of special orchid composts
Monthly raffles...and much more!

Join us now, we look forward to seeing you!

New to Orchids?

Intimidated by all those Latin names?
Suffering the angst of spending money on some expensive beauties you’ve seen but know little about?
Proudly grown a fine flowering specimen for a year or so, only to watch it inexplicably decline or never reflower?

Orchid growing can be the horticultural “school of hard knocks” and that is why discussion with experienced growers in an orchid society is the most effective path to success. Why not attend one of our regular meetings by checking the Calendar of Events.

Enjoy and we hope to meet you some day!
