Purpose

Our purpose is to promote the appreciation of orchids, to encourage the exchange of ideas concerning the culture and growing of orchids, to conduct orchid exhibitions and shows for member fellowship, and to advance the knowledge and appreciation of orchids.

TVOS meets on the third Wednesday of each month from September through May, at the Club House at Signature Point Apartments, 3509 N. Cole Road, Boise, ID 83704. Doors open at 7:00 PM for socializing and to provide members the opportunity to have questions answered about their orchids. Meetings begin at 7:30 PM. Refreshments follow . In June and July, events such as a plant auction and family picnic, and an annual greenhouse tour can take place, and are scheduled by the membership at one of the monthly meetings. August is usually scheduled as a vacation month.
