The 2026 Orchid Central Show is coming. Click here for details.

Welcome to The Eastern Suburbs Orchid Society website. Our society welcome minds who share the same passion and interest in learning, experimenting, exploring the art and science of growing orchids. We meet monthly to show the beautiful flowering plants grown by our members. We discuss the interesting habits of different types of orchids, finding the optimal techniques to grow them, and on several occasions we prepare for shows to the public. We always have prize orchids plants to reward for the best plants of the night, and as raffle prizes. You are most welcome to visit us and check out the plants we grow.
