Orchid sellers must be members of the GOS and should come
to the meeting as early as possible (not later than 6:30 pm)
to register, tag, and help organize their plants.


Please supply a short, legible note about the plant you are selling. Tell us how it’s pronounced and supply an interesting fact that will entice buyers. If a plant
looks unhealthy or has pests, the auction committee will set it aside.

Members may submit up to seven plants. ORCHID PLANTS ONLY.
Plants in bloom, or with a picture of the bloom, will be auctioned first.
Others will be auctioned as time allows.


The Gainesville Orchid Society receives one third of the proceeds
of auctioned plants.
If you want to bid, be sure to sign in
​and get your official bidding plate before the auction begins.


The Treasurer will mail checks to the sellers after the auction. 
Members may choose to generously donate all proceeds from the sale of any or all their plants to GOS.

In 2022, the Society installed an orchid pavilion at Kanapaha Botanical Gardens.  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.
