Welcome to the Sanibel-Captiva Orchid Society, dedicated to engaging and educating orchid lovers on our islands and Lee County. We always welcome guests to our meetings ($10 guest fee) but encourage full-time residents, part-time residents and short-term visitors to join - it’s only $35 per year for membership; families only $50. Normal memberships will begin in October, 2024.

Meetings begin at 12:30 PM at St. Michael’s and All Angels Episcopal Church at 2304 Periwinkle Way on Sanibel.
