American Orchid Society provides judging to New England, New York and Northern New Jersey

The Northeast Judging Center of the American Orchid Society sponsors 2 monthly judging events at the following venues:

1) First Saturday of the month - Tower Hill Botanic Garden, Boylston MA

2) Third Saturday of the month - Bartlett Arboretum and Gardens, Stamford, CT

On these days, each site holds educational forums and discussions 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 has taking part in ribbon and trophy judging at the show.

Finally, we have many knowledgeable and helpful individuals in the center who can speak on a wide variety of topics related to orchids and judging. We encourage all of the orchid societies in our region to utilize this resource.
