The Fort Pierce Orchid Society was formed
formally on October 13, 1962 by a group of local hobby growers. F.P.O.S. has been tax exempt ( 501 c5 ) since 1968. The Society was incorporated under the laws
of Florida on June 18, 1965 and the charter states the objects and purposes
as follows: To encourage and foster the growing of orchids for
pleasure. To create an environment that will attract all persons
with an interest in orchids and orchid growing. To promote better knowledge and appreciation of orchids
among the members of the society and the community. To encourage a free exchange of experience and ideas so
that all members may become better orchid growers. To cultivate a keener perception of the beauty of color
and form in order to obtain the fullest
enjoyment possible for orchids. To recognize and appreciate the vast area of orchid
knowledge from which all society members may benefit. To enable all members of the society to contribute
substantially to the knowledge and enjoyment of orchids, and to share the
society’s collective knowledge of orchid appreciation and orchid growing with all other members
of the society and community. The charter membership was closed on |
Our meetings and programs are varied with guest speakers, raffles and plant sales. We have a “Show and Tell” table which gives members a chance to show off their blooming plants. Auctions are held twice yearly and a summer picnic and a Christmas party are also held. A monthly newsletter “The Orchid Connection” is mailed to the homes of members each month. Florida and especially the Treasure Coast is an ideal area for growing orchids. Contrary to popular opinion orchids are not difficult to grow, nor are they expensive. Certain types do have different requirements which you must consider in order to have healthy plants. They can be grown on a window sill, outdoors under a tree or on a patio. Growing them is an absorbing hobby. That is why each meeting becomes a learning experience. You are invited to join us and learn all about orchids. 2009
