Toronto and Montreal Judging Centers

 
Toronto is an official AOS (American Orchid Society) judging center. Montreal is an additional judging site for the Toronto Judging Center. Judging in Toronto is generally on the first Saturday of every month. Judging in TORONTO takes place at the Toronto Botanical Garden (formerly Edwards Gardens), corner of 77 Lawrence Ave. (corner Leslie Street) beginning at 1:00 p.m. unless stated otherwise. Judging in Montreal is generally the 3rd Saturday of every month at the Montreal Botanical Garden, 4101 Sherbrooke Street East beginning at 1:00 p.m. unless stated otherwise.

In addition to monthly dates for judging at the center, we have added orchid society SHOWS where you can find us.

 
N.B. It is possible that either the date or the time for AOS judging for either center may be changed so check here PLEASE.

We shall shortly add Judging Homework and Talks so that we can share our knowledge with others. Please bear in mind that no one is perfect and mistakes do happen but we shall correct any errors that are brought to our attention.
 
Although judging begins at 1:00 p.m., there is a great deal of activity before that. Beginning at 10:00 a.m., there is student training, workshops, presentation of recent award slides, etc. If you are interested in learning more about orchids, these are two places for it.

Anyone can bring a plant in for judging. Everything is open to the public and everything is free.

Te see judging dates at both centers and the shows we will attend, simply CLICK HERE.

We hope to begin adding awards given in Toronto shortly.

 

N.B. Unless indicated otherwise, all judging in Montreal shall take place at the Montreal Botanical Garden, 4101 Sherbrooke Street East, Montreal.
