The Potomac Valley Chapter ARS was started by a small group of individuals in the Washington D.C. area, many of which
already belonged to the Middle Atlantic Chapter ARS. It is one of three chapters of
the American Rhododendron Society
located in District IX, or the Middle Atlantic region of the United States.
The chapter has several
meetings each year, most of which are heald at the National
Arboretum Adone in the spring during
garden season and one in the the fall, as well as other activities for members.
Below are some
links to background information and current activities
of the group.
