OrchidMania's 18th Annual Mother's Day Sale

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

Join us at scenic Fort Mason on the San Francisco waterfront:

Saturday, May 12th
9am (early access only); 10am-5pm general admission and
Sunday, May 13th
10am to 4pm general admission

A $20 donation is required to enter during the "early access only" period (Friends of OrchidMania get free admission), but general admission is free.
Please note: There is now a charge from Fort Mason to park inside the gates.

Saturday kicks off with a very special "donor's breakfast 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.

The rest of the day is just as much fun, with educational presentations and special "hot deals" presented for a limited time throughout the day.

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 Mother's Day 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. Last year we were able to make over $20,000 in donations to grassroots organizations in California, Colombia, and Vietnam.

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