San Diego International Orchid Fair

October 5-6, 2013

Orchids

Join us for the splendidly colorful San Diego International Orchid Fair where countless varieties of orchids grace the grounds, some in exhibits and some for sale.

Learn from the experts how to care for your newly purchased orchids at “Orchids 101,” our ongoing lectures on culture and care.

Have your orchid judged. The show is an official AOS (American Orchid Society) judging event and there will be ribbon judging as well. To register your plants for judging bring them to the Ecke Building on Thursday, October 4, 4 – 7 pm and Friday October 5, 9 am – 12 noon. Someone will be available to help you classify your plants. Please make sure they are pest-free, flowers are staked, and plants are clean. Judging begins at 1 pm sharp on Friday, October 5, so please have your plants registered by 12:00 noon.

Cost: Free with admission or Garden membership. Free for AOS members (must show card)
