TYGERBERG ORCHID GROUP
Our Society Library

Our Society Library is located in a store-room off the Hall of the Bellville Library. Due to its location, books are only available once monthly; between 19h00 and 19h30 on the day of our General meeting.
We hold a selection of books and magazines which may be taken out. Books include basic and specialist orchid culture texts, orchid encyclopaedias and some more technical works specialising in specific genera. In the magazine field, we hold up-to-date copies and bound back-issues of such journals as the Orchid Review, Australian Orchid Review, Orchid Digest, and Orchids Australia, as well as, naturally, a set of the South African Orchid Journal and its successor, Orchids South Africa.
A full list of our Book holdings may be consulted by clicking HERE, and the Periodicals section, by clicking HERE.
For more information, our Librarian, Thelma Strydom may be contacted by phone at 021 913 1700, or by e-mail at: .
