Welcome to the Harrogate Orchid Society

Thank you for visiting our website. Perhaps you have just bought your first orchid or have been given one as a present, you may have a few on your windowsill or you may be an experienced grower with a number of years experience Whatever your interest in orchids this society will be pleased to welcome you. Why not come to one or two of our meetings, you do not need to join the society initially to do this. We are a friendly group with members covering a wide range of orchid growing. Over recent years there has been a big rise in orchids being grown inside the home. Our membership reflects this so we organise our meetings to suit all types of orchid growers, be they experienced growers or people who have just being given their first orchid plant as a present or grow the range of orchids available from a garden centre or supermarket.
