EnglishWhen Is the Atlanta Orchid Society Orchid Show & Sale?
Updated
The Atlanta Orchid Society's next Orchid Show & Sale is scheduled for March 12–14, 2027, at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. The society's website lists those dates and the venue, and points visitors to a details page for the event. The site does not publish show hours, admission prices, or ticket information, so check the event details page or the society's newsletter closer to the date before planning your visit.
What the Show Is
The Orchid Show & Sale is the society's public showcase and sales event, distinct from its monthly meetings and its annual auction. It is held at the Atlanta Botanical Garden, which also hosts the society's regular monthly meetings.
Other Dates Worth Knowing
If you are planning around the society's calendar, two other events appear on the site:
| Event | Date | Location |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 Annual Orchid Auction | Saturday, November 7, 2026, 1:00–4:30 PM | Oglethorpe Presbyterian Church, 3016 Lanier Dr NE, Brookhaven, GA 30319 |
| Monthly meeting (Catasetinae program by Scott Elliott) | November 9 | Atlanta Botanical Garden (confirm in newsletter) |
The auction is described as the society's second-largest fundraising event of the year and is open to anyone who wants to bid on orchids.
Before You Go
- Confirm the details. The site advises checking the newsletter for each month's specifics, and the show listing itself directs readers to a details page. Hours and any entry requirements are not stated on the page reviewed here.
- Check the venue's own rules. Because the show is at the Atlanta Botanical Garden, garden admission or event policies may apply; the society's page does not say either way.
- Membership is separate. Joining the society is open to anyone interested in orchids, novice or experienced, but membership is not presented as a requirement for attending the show.
Background on the Society
The Atlanta Orchid Society was formed in 1947 as a non-profit organization for people to learn about orchids, share knowledge, and promote interest in them. It is one of roughly 550 local societies affiliated with the American Orchid Society. Members meet on the second Monday of most months, usually at 7:30 PM at the Atlanta Botanical Garden, and typically hear a guest speaker, view blooming plants brought in by members, and take part in monthly ribbon judging.
