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 meeting season has come to Summer break time, having finished the season with a wonderful picnic in June. As a reminder to all, we do not meet July or August. Our next meeting will be Sunday September 7th when J&L Orchids will talk about growing orchids in a terrarium.
J&L Orchids will host their annual summer sale on the last weekend in July, the 25th to the 27th, at their greenhouse in Easton, Connecticut.
August 23, 2025 1 pm - Northeast Judging Center - CT Outreach Judging at J&L Orchids, 20 Sherwood Rd, Easton, CT 06612.
