ABOUT US

The National Auricula and Primula Society (Northern Section), is the oldest of the three National Society Sections, founded in 1873 as the National Auricula Society, our current name has developed to reflect changes over time.

The aim and objective of our Society, remains today, to encourage and extend the cultivation, development and exhibition of Auriculas, Gold Laced Polyanthus and other species, cultivars and hybrids of the genus Primula.

Our members range from the novice, for whom separate show classes are provided, to very experienced breeders, growers and exhibitors. New members may be assured of a warm and friendly welcome. Assistance and mentoring will be given to those who wish to learn more about growing, cultivating and showing the many varieties of Auriculas, Primulas and Gold Laced Polyanthus.

The things we do!

Each spring, we hold a Primula Show; an Auricula Show and our Northeast Group bring the showing season to a close with their own Show. All our shows are open to the public.

We display at the Harrogate Spring Flower Show each year, to highlight our Society and display the plants we grow, based around a traditional Auricula Theatre. Members are in attendance to give advice and information on all aspects of growing Primulas and Auriculas. Come along, look at our plants, meet our members and ask any questions you may have.

For further details on the things we do, look at the Events page.
