About us
Welcome to the web site of the Western North Carolina Orchid Society (WNCOS.) We
are a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization composed of people who wish to share the excitement
and joy of cultivating orchids, and promoting
orchid habitat conservation.
The Society was originally formed in September of 1962 and we are an affiliate of the American Orchid Society (AOS.)
The Society generally meets on the second Sunday of each month at Asheville Eye Associates.
The office of Asheville Eye is just off Sweeten Creek Road in Asheville, NC.
Our meetings begin at 2PM and are free and open to the public. Everyone is welcome!

The Board meets monthly at Community action Opportunities (CAO) in Asheville.
