CSPV meets on the second Sunday of the month from October through April, with a picnic during the summer. The annual CSPV show is typically held on a weekend in early April when spring blooms are at their height.
For many years our meeting site was the National Arboretum, home of one of the finest camellia collections in the U.S. However, while the Visitors Center is undergoing renovation in 2010-2012, CSPV will be meeting in a variety of locations around the Metropolitan Washington area.
