The Conejo Orchid Society (COS) was formed to provide a setting where orchid devotees could meet to share their enthusiasm and knowledge, assist one another with orchid culture, and learn from invited experts. What we all have in common is a love of orchids and a desire for orchid knowledge. COS welcomes visitors at their monthly meetings where we hold a culture session and we have an invited guest speak on a variety of topics relating to growing orchids. Members are encouraged to bring their blooming plants for display and judging. In addition, there is a raffle of beautiful plants at each meeting.
We meet the second Monday of each month from January through November at 7PM at the Westlake Village Town Hall. In December, our meeting is replaced by a holiday party.
