American Orchid Society Visitors Center and Botanical Garden

The center includes a 4,000-square-foot greenhouse and Mediterranean-style building spread across 3.5 acres of landscaped grounds near Morikami Park.

The American Orchid Society established this facility in 2001 as its headquarters, featuring gardens designed by University of Florida landscape architecture students.

The center served as a meeting point for orchid enthusiasts, offering educational programs and research materials about various orchid species and cultivation methods.

Visitors could access extensive information about orchid care, growing conditions, and species selection through displays, workshops, and expert guidance at the facility.

In 2011, the entire orchid collection relocated to Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, marking the end of this location's role as the society's primary exhibition space.
