Orchid growers from Maine to Maryland and beyond look forward to this annual event. A group of high quality, and often rare plants from our judges' and esteemed exhibitors' collections will be auctioned off at our Northboro site this year on Saturday, May 3rd. Many of these plants are not easily obtained and are coveted by orchid collectors. There are often numerous plants of specimen size available to bid on. It is a day of fun and friendship as well as a bit of humor as orchid enthusiasts come together to enjoy these events. A catalog of auction offerings can be found here - Northeast Judging Center Auction - check back frequently as the list of plants will continue to expand over the coming weeks.
This in-person event will begin at 10 AM with registration and a plant preview - light refreshments will be provided. The auction will start at 10:30 AM and run approximately 1 1/2 hours. We will then break for lunch (not provided), with judging beginning at approximately 1 PM.
As a 501(c)(3) organization, the NEJC uses the proceeds from this event to support its operations, monthly judgings, and local orchid community. With your support, the center is able to bring AOS judging to local societies and all orchid growers in the Northeast.
