The Humboldt Orchid Society

Welcome!

Thanks for visiting The Humboldt Orchid Society web site.  We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization in the greater Eureka/Arcata area of Humboldt County, California.  The Humboldt Orchid Society is affiliated with the American Orchid Society (AOS).

Our meetings are open to the public.  If you would like to learn more about orchids and how easy they can be to grow we encourage you to attend a meeting.  If you are having a problem with an orchid you are welcome to bring it to a meeting for advice. 

Our goal is to help educate people about the growing, flowering, and conservation of native species and hybrid orchids.

We hope to see you at our next meeting!

Check the meeting information page for details of our meeting venue.

MEETING NOTE: For the months of June through October we will meet at Orchids for the People in McKinleyville at 1975 Blake Road, just up the road from the Golf Course. The time will be from 10am to 11am on the first Sunday of each month. This will coincide with their monthly Open House event that goes from 11am to 4pm on the first Sunday of the month.

During the Open House session there will be talks on different orchid related topics at noon and 2pm and greenhouse tours at 1pm and 3pm.

You can visit our Facebook page for the Humboldt Orchid Society where you can share photos of your orchids in bloom. If you have an issue with a plant you can post a picture and question and we will do our best to provide an answer.
