November Field Trip Highlights + Holiday Party Details on December 9th

A Wonderful Year With the Tampa Orchid Club 🌸

As we approach the end of another fun and fulfilling year with the Tampa Orchid Club, we can’t help but reflect on all the memories, learning, and laughter we’ve shared together. From monthly meetings filled with great information to hands-on experiences and blooming inspiration, 2025 has been one for the books.

Last month’s field trip to Accent Orchids and Art Stone Orchids was no exception. It was a well-attended outing full of beautiful plants, friendly conversations, and wonderful opportunities to learn from local experts. Everyone enjoyed exploring both destinations.
