Meetings and activities

Upcoming programs of the UOS

Meetings are held in Salt Lake City but we have members from all over the state and the Intermountain region. Meetings are held on the second Monday evening of each month in the Garden Center at the Northeast corner of Sugar House Park, 1610 East, 21st South, Salt Lake City. The Garden Center is open at 7pm for socializing and/or plant sales and the formal program begins at 7.30 pm sharp. In the hot summer months of July and August, special events such as greenhouse tours and a barbeque may be scheduled in lieu of regular meetings.

Our monthly meetings begin with a “show and tell” in which new and experienced members display plants that are currently in bloom. The formal, or not so formal part, of the program consists of a mix of lectures from outside speakers (who frequently bring new and exciting orchids to sell) to educational sessions designed to help the new as well as the more specialized growers in orchid culture. Novices can always count on plenty of help on cultural tips at the meetings.

In the Spring and Fall we organize orchid shows at the Red Butte Garden and Arboretum located in the foothills of the Wasatch mountains. Members and local growers exhibit their plants in displays and commercial vendors sell orchid species and the latest hybrids. These shows are great social events for society members and an opportunity to spread our enthusiasm for these plants to the public. The shows are judged by American Orchid Society Judges from Utah and other Western States.
