The Orchid Society of Mauritius was founded in 1980 by a small group of orchid enthusiasts. During the years that followed, more people joined the society, and its membership today exceeds a hundred in number.
Members meet as often as possible around a mini orchid display. Talks on various aspects of orchid growing and the sharing of personal experience are common features at these meetings.
Each year, the Society holds a major public orchid exhibition. Visitors can admire beautiful flowers and they can acquire plants. The Orchid Society is open to all those who want to learn how to grow orchids.
The Orchid Society of Mauritius is affiliated to the American Orchid Society since 1983 and benefits from its generous educational support.
