MONTHLY MEETINGSOnce a month ANOS Geelong members get together to discuss orchid cultivation and conservation, admire our beautiful Australasian orchids, listen to knowledgeable speakers or just to socialise. Visitors are always welcome so please come along and join us. |
When We Meet2nd Wednesday of the month at 7:30pmEleven meetings are held each year, from February through to December. |
Guest SpeakersEach month we have a local, interstate or overseas speaker giving a presentation on topics relating to Australian epiphyte orchids, terrestrial orchids or conservation. |
Display BenchesMembers can bring in their orchids and display them on the benches at the meetings so that others may enjoy them. We are not a judging society but each month the guest speaker is invited to select the orchid they consider to be the best plant on display. |
