What is the NRV?

The NRV is the Dutch Alpine Garden Society. In this society Dutch alpine garden enthousiasts are gathered.Founded in 1985 the society has celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2005. The highlight of this celebration was a succesful international conference on alpines. The society currently has approximately 700 members, including many experts and professionals.
The NRV organizes a spring plant sale and an autumn plant sale every year. The spring plant sale normaly is a weekend event. The society further organises shows, lectures and many other activities for its members.

Our magazine "Folium Alpinum" (written in Dutch) appears four times a year. Members also receive an extra newsletter containing, among other things, the membership list and at the end of the year they receive the seedlist. From this seedlist members can order 20 packages of, sometimes unique, seed free of charge. Recently an online forum was started where members can discuss various topic related to aplines.
