OrchidMania's 20th Annual Sale

It's our biggest event of the year... the "World's Largest Orchid Garage Sale!"

Join us at our greenhouses in the Excelsior District of San Francisco:

Saturday, October 24th
10am (Friends Invitation only); 11am-3pm general admission and
Sunday, October 25th
11am to 3pm general admission

General admission is free.
Easy access via the 9, 43, 14 MUNI lines

Saturday kicks off with a very special "donor's sneak preview" where special friends of OrchidMania get an hour of "first dibs" access to the sale.

We always have an excellent selection of the most fabulous blooming plants and an array of truly rare collectables... making this early foray a must-see event.

Sunday continues with more fantastic selections as we bring out another round of wonderful selections from the greenhouse.

That's right... you've got to come back on Sunday because we restock the benches and it's just like starting from scratch! Veterans of our Annual sales know that Sunday mornings can yield many special treasures for discerning collectors.

Whether you are a long-time grower or a new comer to the art and addiction of orchid cultivation, you'll love this entertaining weekend of glitter, controlled MAYHEM, and most of all... orchids, orchids, orchids!

Remember -- all the proceeds go to a really great cause: HIV prevention education and AIDS awareness and relief efforts.

OrchidMania is a California nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation.
