2024 South Carolina Orchid Show and Sale held at the Garden Council of Greater Columbia Building at 1605 Park Circle in Downtown Columbia, SC- near USC! The show will feature thousands of blooming orchids, presented by societies and growers from all over the Southeast.

• We are providing “Re-Pot on the Spot” where you can bring in your orchid that might need a new pot- or some basic clean up and care and for a small donation we will repot your plant- help make sure it is in the best shape possible and give you advice or care information to take home!
• We will have special exhibits from the Ikebana Society of beautiful Japanese floral arrangements.
• We have fantastic raffles for orchids- supplies and blooming plants that you can win!
• And we have our “Education Stations” set up this year so that you can learn about the incredible diversity of orchid plants and see which one might be best for you to add to your home!
Orchids are THE most popular houseplant in the world and in the US. You can find them anywhere you look- and your audience wants to know HOW to grow them- WHERE to buy them- and WHO can help them!

Artisphere has approached us to participate in their Arts Partner Program, offering a chance to secure funding for GCCA through volunteer efforts. By collectively completing 250 volunteer hours, we can unlock vital resources that will be reinvested back into our community in various meaningful ways.

To sign up for shifts, please follow the instructions provided in the link below. When registering, be sure to indicate that you’re volunteering on behalf of GCCA to ensure your hours count towards our total. After signing up, we ask that you kindly inform our Operations Manager, Alicia Mizuno, of the number of shifts and total hours you’ve committed to.
