Welcome to the Tidewater Orchid Society
Our Purpose
To promote public interest in and appreciation of orchids by undertaking exhibits, shows, and other promotions, and will endeavor to increase members’ knowledge of orchids and their culture by lectures, workshops, and educational programs.
TOS is organized exclusively for charitable, educational and scientific purposes, including, for such purposes, the making of distributions to organizations under Section 501 (3) of the Internal Revenue Code (or the corresponding section of any future Federal tax code).
Please note that we will have our next meeting at the Norfolk Botanical Garden on the 6th of April 2025. This will be our annual plant auction so make sure you circle the date on your calendar. Hope to see you there and bring a friend; no membership required to bid on the plants.
Time for a quick update.
