Hello orchid people,

The NOS is meeting at the UMD Greenhouse Tuesday, social time around 6:00 with a meeting at 6:30 and tour of the greenhouses to follow. Matt will be giving us the tour and says we can come again this Winter when there are more orchids in bloom!

Directions from I-35: take the 21st Avenue East, exit and go all the way up to the end at Woodland Avenue, turn right. Take a Left at College Street (doesn't have a traffic light and comes up quickly). Take a Right on University Drive. Parking Lot B (Maroon; free parking for the summer) is on the Right. Parking lot A (Gold) always require permits, although there are handicapped meters there.

Directions from the North via Miller Trunk and Arrowhead Road: From Arrowhead Road, turn Right at Kenwood Avenue stoplight. Turn Left at College Street stoplight. Turn Left at University Drive... Parking lot B (free parking) is on the right. *Attached is a map of the area with a small green arrow showing the way to the greenhouse from the parking lots. Walk toward the Medical School and under a skywalk. You will see the lower greenhouse. Enter the adjacent doors of the Life Science Building where we will meet in room 20.

If you need to come late, that is fine. Call me at 218-590-2398 if you have questions or need directions! Bring any friends, orchid questions, and any plants for show, raffle or sale. Hope to see you at the UMD greenhouse for this fun and interesting excursion! Thanks Matt.

Best wishes, Gary

Welcome to Northland Orchid Society!

Can you grow an orchid? It's easier than you think and it's fun and rewarding!

Thanks for taking the time to visit the Northland Orchid Society (NOS) website. Whether a beginner or an expert orchid grower, you will find all the wonderful things our site has to offer, and you are welcome to join the society if you are not already involved.

Like the passion you have for orchids, NOS membership is a truly rewarding experience. NOS provides a forum for us to meet and learn from each other on how to grow various kinds of orchids in you home. The annual orchid sale and various guest speaker and orchid show events allow us to share the appreciation and cultivation of orchids as a hobby.

Our annual NOS Plant Sale, Display and Repotting Service is planned for September 16th at Engwalls.
