The annual Illinois Orchid Society Fall Show & Sale takes place October 12 and 13, 2019, in the Chicago Botanic Garden, 1000 Lake Cook Road, Glencoe, Illinois.

Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, with a photographers’ hour beginning at 9 a.m. October 13.

Tabletop displays, from the rarest of species to cultivated hybrids, will be on view. Individual orchids in 128 classes will vie for red, white, and blue ribbons. Twenty-five entries will receive “best of class” green ribbons, and the “best-appointed plant” in the show will receive the Chicago Horticultural Society Award from American Orchid Society judges. The Society will provide an orchid sales area and repotting services.
