We hold our annual orchid show and sale each year. In addition to a wide range of exhibits, we have local and international vendors selling everything orchid-related. Don’t miss it!
What our show offers
Ikebana displays
We are pleased to welcome exhibits from our Ottawa Ikebana schools. These elegant displays are not judged by tradition.
Botanical illustrations displays
We are pleased to welcome back the Ottawa Society for Botanical Artists who will display their members' beautiful illustrations of orchids. These displays are not judged.

Orchid care experts
Our Orchid Care table is staffed by experts from our society who will be able to answer any questions you have about your orchids.
