About WNCOS

The Western North Carolina Orchid Society is a registered 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation focused on sharing a passion for orchid cultivation and native orchid conservation. The Society was originally formed in September of 1962 and is an affiliate of the American Orchid Society.

The Society typically meets at 2:00 PM on the second Sunday of each month at The Ivy Building, 9 Genevieve Circle, Asheville, NC 28801. All orchid lovers are welcome to attend our meetings. Everyone is welcome, no experience necessary – just an appreciation for the world of orchids and a desire to learn more! Most meetings feature guest speakers, a Show and Tell session for members to show off and discuss their currently in-bloom orchids, and a raffle for orchids and orchid growing supplies.

I Came Home With Some New Orchids. Now What?

So, you just returned home from the Asheville Orchid Festival with a box full of new orchids. Now what! Maybe you’re not quite sure what proper care is required, and you want to learn more about them. You’re in luck. The WNCOS April meeting is planning to have some of our more knowledgeable members available to discuss, well… anything you want to discuss. Come ask all those questions you have been wanting to ask. This will be a great time to share tricks and tips on growing orchids.
