MEMBERSHIP:
Old Dominion Chrysanthemum Society

A Chapter of the National Chrysanthemum Society, Inc. USA

Invites You to Join!

Based in Northern Virginia, the Old Dominion Chrysanthemum Society, Inc., (ODCS) is a group of gardeners of all ages in the greater National Capital Area who are interested in growing the many varieties of chrysanthemums. The purpose of our society is to promote and encourage interest in the active cultivation, propagation, and improvement in the standards of excellence of chrysanthemums. The ODCS publishes a monthly newsletter, “The Mum Chronicle.”

Each year, ODCS members select and order plants from a wide variety of chrysanthemums across the country, as well as the necessary potting soil, fertilizers, and other supplies for growing mums. ODCS sells mum plants to the public at annual garden sales in Vienna, VA, and Annandale, Va.

ODCS conducts monthly Zoom meetings beginning at 7:00 p.m. on the second Monday of the month from January through October.

In October, ODCS organizes an annual chrysanthemum show at which members exhibit the mums they have grown and compete for society recognition, ribbons, and prizes. The annual show is conducted under the auspices of the National Chrysanthemum Society and the National Federation of Garden Clubs. ODCS has an annual picnic in the summer and in November the group hosts a combination luncheon and meeting.

Learn more about ODCS at our website at http://www.odcsmums.club.
