HOGA represents professional orchid growers in the state of Hawaii. Our goals are to promote the development of this industry by supporting marketing, research and educational projects. A non-profit service organization, HOGA was formed in 1995 to serve as the vehicle for coordinated efforts among breeders, propagators, and growers of orchids in Hawaii. Its membership represents a $20,000,000.00 Hawaii orchid industry that is rapidly growing and expanding.

HOGA embraces members of the Big Island Dendrobium Growers Association (BIDGA) and Dendrobium Orchid Growers Association of Hawaii (DOGAH) as Adjunct HOGA members, and extends privileges of special rates and prices to their members. Working together, we are best positioned to address the needs of our clients.

HOGA holds an annual conference and tour of nurseries, an excellent opportunity for interested buyers to meet Hawaii’s growers and see the array of orchids produced in Hawaii’s greenhouses. Current information is found on the HOGA website.
