D.O.G<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Since it was founded in 1906, the top priority of the Deutsche Orchideen-Gesellschaft e.V. (D.O.G.) has been to promote orchid science and make it accessible to all interested parties.<\/p>\n

The members already show how different the interest in orchids can be: The D.O.G. has almost 3,000 members worldwide \u2013 from the simple flower lover to the botanist, breeder and gardener. They all use the offers of the D.O.G. and get involved in the club\u2019s goals.<\/p>\n

Everyone contributes their part: Be it as a collector of orchid motifs on stamps or coins, as a cultivator on the windowsill, in the showcase or in your own greenhouse, or as a filmmaker or book author on orchids.<\/p>\n

Even after more than 100 years of history, the German Orchid Society is still a lively association that enjoys an international reputation and maintains friendly contacts all over the world. For example, to the American Orchid Society or to the neighboring orchid societies of Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, Denmark, Sweden, Poland, among others.<\/p>\n

Above all, the trade journal \u201cDie Orchidee\u201d, which is published every two months by the D.O.G. and which all D.O.G. members receive as a member\u2019s magazine, is highly regarded. Not without reason: on 80 DIN A4 pages, the booklet offers well-founded information and brilliant image material for all orchid friends.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the D.O.G. supports and initiates symposiums and scientific reports on research into orchids, especially on sufficient propagation and conservation of all species, asymbiotic sowings, vegetative by division, site investigations through to site maintenance and cultural issues.<\/p>\n

In order to raise public awareness of orchids, the members of the D.O.G. organize exhibitions to provide information about the entire variety of orchids and their respective requirements.<\/p>\n

The Deutsche Orchideen-Gesellschaft e.V. is therefore a large association that takes great care of orchids and deals with them – and it does so on a completely voluntary basis. We invite everyone to support us in preserving these fascinating plants.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
