About SAOC
The South African Orchid Council (SAOC) is the national coordinating body for affiliated orchid societies across South Africa.
Founded in 1968, SAOC exists to promote the culture, hybridisation and appreciation of orchids in cultivation — through a federated network of 21 societies, a nationally accredited judging system first standardised in 1990, and our annual publication Orchids South Africa. Our remit is orchids in cultivation: the show bench, the greenhouse, and the community. For indigenous species in the wild, our sibling organisation Wild Orchids of Southern Africa leads that work.
