Nutmeg Orchid Society was organized in 2008 and is affiliated with the American Orchid Society.
NSOS meets 12:30 to 4:30 the first Sunday of the month in Unionville, CT. Our monthly meetings offer a Show & Tell table, plants for sale, access to a lending library, and well known speakers from across the United States.
We also offer an annual picnic, an annual orchid show, and other special events that provide opportunities for members to learn about orchids.
Our next meeting will take place on April 6, at the Farmington Senior Center.
Karen Timko will talk about orchid basics.
The annual NSOS Show and Sale is complete. It takes many hands to make for a successful show. Your participation is greatly appreciated.
