Minimize Welcome to our Website
 

Welcome to the official website of the North Carolina Piedmont Orchid Society. The primary purpose of our society is to educate our members and the general public in the areas of growing, exhibiting and conserving this wonderful group of plants, while fostering relationships with each other.

We normally meet the first Sunday of the month at the UNCC McMillan Greenhouses in Charlotte, North Carolina.  Please check our calendar for specifics. In addition to these regular meetings, we sponsor an orchid show each year in Charlotte, and participate in regional orchid shows. We also have special meetings, a picnic, and an auction during the year.

As President, I cordially invite you to join us at any of our events, and discover along with us the pleasure of growing together in this wonderful hobby.

Jay Sifford
President, NCPOS

Directions to UNCC's McMillan Greenhouse - Saturday, October 27, 2007

Monthly NCPOS meetings are held the first Sunday of each month, unless otherwise announced. We meet at the McMillan Greenhouses at UNC Charlotte. The meeting starts at 12:00 with a covered dish luncheon, followed by a business meeting at 12:45, a show table and discussion and finally a program discussion of orchids.

Directions to the greenhouse are as follows:
1. From I-85 take exit marked Highways 29/49 and proceed following Highway 49 toward UNCC
2. After you pass under Harris Blvd. watch for Cameron Blvd. on your left and turn there; you are now on the UNCC campus.
3. Proceed on Cameron, passing University Rd. on the right and then Phillips Rd. on the left to the next turning to the right which is Craver Rd. DO NOT SPEED IN UNCC!
4. Turn right onto Craver and proceed past five large buildings on your right. You will then see the greenhouse on your right and the parking lot just before it.
