Who we are!
The Pacific Northwest Judging Center is part of the American Orchid Society Judging System designed to provide a service to its members, affiliated societies and orchid growers in the region by which their orchids can be evaluated and judged for American Orchid Society awards. We are committed to helping the AOS spread 'orchid fever' through encouragement and education about orchid growing, and the judging of quality orchids.
Bring your orchids to monthly judging!
We invite all who grow and love orchids to come to our monthly judging sessions and Outreach Judgings. Whether you have an orchid that you feel is of exceptional quality or you simply want to learn or perhaps even become a judge, please come visit us, or Contact Us for additional information.
Judging takes place at Keizer Civic Center, Chemawa Room, 930 Chemawa Road, Keizer, OR, at 1:15 PM on the first Sunday of the month. For sending cut flowers, please confirm prior to shipping to Thomas Etheridge at Rollyridge @gmail.com.
