Description:
With nearly 18,000 members around the world, the AOS is recognized as a proponent of orchid education, research, and conservation. It is the largest special-interest horticultural organization in the world. The AOS Visitors Center and Botanical Garden features 3 ½ acres of gardens and waterfalls, as well as a 4,000 square-foot greenhouse filled with thousands of orchids that are always in bloom.
The AOS headquarters is strategically and synergistically situated adjacent to The Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens, and the combined attraction of the two cultural and horticultural facilities has created a compelling destination for garden lovers and travelers who seek nature-focused destinations. The AOS Visitors Center and Botanical Garden has also become a popular site for corporate meetings and special events, such as weddings and private parties.
