Ramapo Orchid Society
The Ramapo Orchid Society (ROS), Inc. is a nonprofit, educational organization dedicated to the love of growing orchids. We meet every month (except July & August) at the Flat Rock Brook Nature Center, Englewood, New Jersey.
The society is open to anyone who shares our love of orchids, so why don't you come and join a terrific bunch of people.
We are an affiliated member of the American Orchid Society (AOS) and Northeast Judging Center.
At our meetings we feature guest speakers, hands-on workshops, and an opportunity to trade growing secrets with some very experienced members. We always have a show table, and affordably priced orchids from local vendors. Special events include our yearly show, a great auction, and a fun holiday party.

The Northeast Judging Center of the American Orchid Society sponsors a monthly judging event.
There will be an educational forum and discussion in the morning beginning at 10:30 on a wide range of topics related to orchid judging. Plants being submitted for judging should arrive no later than noon that day; actual judging of plants begins after a lunch break, generally no later than 1 PM.
In addition to our monthly judging, we participate in a number of orchid shows throughout the center, providing AOS judging as well as taking part in ribbon and trophy judging.
