Welcome to Tan Bark Online, home of the Toowoomba Orchid Society Inc. Established in 1955. We bring together orchid growers from Toowoomba and surrounding areas, sharing our passion and knowledge with experienced and novice growers alike. The society runs orchid shows throughout the year (Autumn and Spring) and monthly meetings consist of a mini show as well as an educational segment. We also have growing workshops, as well as a range of social functions.
