Help the Santa Barbara International Orchid Show shine in March 2025!

We welcome your talent and enthusiasm to host visitors to the Santa Barbara International Orchid Show! Our mission is to share the joy of orchids through experience and education at our annual show in March. Our warm and welcoming volunteers enhance the experience of visitors from all over California and beyond for one of the longest running, premier orchid shows in the United States.

Volunteers take tickets, monitor doors, staff the plant hotel, and help with other duties at the Show. Your help is vital to the success of the Show!

Are you a high school student looking for community service hours? We are an approved community service partner of the Santa Barbara Unified School District.
