The London Orchid Society was formed in 1976 to promote the cultivation of orchids. In addition to an annual spring show, the Society holds meetings on the third Sunday of each month from September through June. The September through May meetings are held at The London Psychiatric Hospital, 850 Highbury Avenue in the Amphitheatre. The meetings begin at 2:00 p.m. but the doors are open between 1:00 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. for setup an socializing. The June meeting is usually a tour of some member's homes to see how they grow their orchids. The tour is followed by a pot luck supper at the last home. Each regular meeting features some aspect of orchid growing. Meetings also include displays of blooming orchids, a raffle, refreshments and friendly socializing about orchids. Plants can also be purchased from local growers and other members. Other Society benefits include a monthly newsletter, a summer picnic, field trips to commercial orchid nurseries, exhibits of members' plants in other shows around the region, a library, and open houses at members homes to show others their orchid-growing environments. Annual dues are only $15 single or $20 for a family.
