Members of the Society provide and maintain the orchids in bloom displayed in the pavilion, which is just outside the entrance to the garden. Kanapaha Botanical Gardens visitors and Society members have an opportunity to learn about orchids from our volunteers at the following times:
the 2nd Saturday of the month from 11 am to 12 pm the 4th Wednesday of the month from 10 am to 11 am We welcome blooming orchids on loan (or donated) and volunteers to participate in the maintenance of the pavilion.
