The De Anza Chapter of the American Rhododendron Society was founded in 1978 by local rhododendron enthusiasts.  The chapter has 60+ local members.   Monthly meetings are held the third Wednesday of the month from September to May.  Non-members, visitors and guests are always welcome at the meetings.

Meetings generally consist of a guest speaker who is knowledgeable about rhododendrons or companion plants.  Meetings often include hands-on learning activities.  Each meeting begins with a social time and ends with a raffle of plants provided either by our guest speaker or by the Chapter.  Speaker topics in the past have included "New Hybrids on the Oregon/Washington Coast", "Satsuki Azaleas", "Rhododendrons in the Wild", and "Growing Vireyas".   Members also enjoy field trips to local gardens and nurseries.
