Introducing the Essex Orchid Society
Latest News : Normal monthly meetings resumed in Autumn 2021!
Full details on our Meetings page: Meetings...
Special Lockdown Orchid Show
As we haven't held any real orchid shows for a while, we have created a section on the website to show off some of the plants that might have been exhibited.
We've been adding to this section since early in 2020, and it now consists of three pages - early 2020, later 2020 and early 2021.
You can find the three pages here:

Later 2020: Online Show Part Two...

Growing Orchids
Have you ever thought about growing orchids? Do you have one and would like to learn more about this fascinating group of plants? Why not join our friendly group? With members interested in many different types of orchids, from novices to experts, you will be sure to find someone who will help you get started with the type of orchids that you like best. You don't need a greenhouse; many of our members grow at least some of their plants on a windowsill. If you prefer hardy orchids talk to us about growing in the garden or in cold frames.
Meetings
The Society normally meets once a month from September through to June (except December), usually on the second Saturday of the month, at South Green Memorial Hall, Billericay, CM11 2PR. The Hall is open from 1.30pm with the meeting running from 2.00 until 4.00pm. We endeavour to offer speakers on a wide range of orchid related topics. Additionally, at some meetings, sales of plants and orchid sundries are offered by an invited nursery. You can see all the details of our planned programme here: Meetings...
Shows
The Society normally holds two shows each year; in November and May, also at South Green Memorial Hall. You can find more details here: Shows... But please note there will not be a Show in November 2021, instead we will have a regular meeting. Additionally, there is a Show bench at every meeting.
Further details for all our activities can be obtained from the Secretary - contact SecretaryEOS@outlook.com...
