Tomer has been growing orchids for about 4 1/2 years. He started after going through an 11 hour surgery to successfully remove a brain tumor. After recovering, gardening became his therapy. He focused on orchids that he inherited from friends who were snowbirds. He learned about the Boca Raton Orchid Society from Alan LaDuke. Joining BROS lead him to some raffle winners, orchid shows, and new orchid friends. He is now a Student Judge in the American Orchid Society Judging Program, on his way to becoming a full-fledged Judge.

Monthly Meetings

Our Society meets on the second Thursday of each month at 7:30 pm. You are always welcome to attend a meeting, check out what's happening and meet our members.

At each meeting we have an interesting speaker, a raffle table, refreshments, a lending library for members, a ribbon-judged display table of members' plants, and a sales table where you can find fabulous bargains. The meetings are a great opportunity to see and learn of the wide variety of fabulous orchids that can be grown in South Florida.
