3The NHOS meets on the second Saturday of each month at the Bedford Town Hall from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.  Refreshments are available and visitors are always welcome.

Meetings may include lectures, workshops, slides, videos and demonstrations about orchid culture, conservation and preservation.  We have a show table where members display their orchids in bloom and have them judged for that month's ribbons.  We also have a raffle for orchid plants, and often have plants or supplies for sale.
