Twice every year, NAAS is invited by our President, Nicholas de Rothschild, to Exbury Gardens to see the display in the Five Arrows Gallery and to view the plants being propogated in the glasshouse.



In March, NAAS members are invited to view the display and propogation of Lachenalias. Although these are not Amaryllids, many members like to grow these other southern African bulbs, which flower in Spring and so complement the autumn-flowering Nerines.

The exhibition each year in October features Nerine Sarniensis. It is a valued opportunity for society members to come together and enjoy the always spectacular display of Nerines and see new varieties being developed.



2024

Yet again, Theo and his team have produced a magnificent display of the Nerines growing in the collection developed over the years by Nicholas de Rothschild.



Visitors to The Five Arrows Gallery are greeted at the entrance by a beautiful display of Nerine Sarniensis.
