Working with Eden
Today we were joined at Writhlington by Hetty Ninnis, Rainforest Biome Team Lead at the Eden project, for a day planning a stunning new display. A very slow tour of the orchid houses developed into productive discussions about orchid species, their stories and cultural requirements. We hope that the new display will be constructed within the next twelve months and will be working hard to prepare species lists and set up environmental monitoring for the display area at Eden. Interpretation will focus on Writhlington’s work around the world and the orchid species’ relationships with people and their pollinators.
