On Tuesday we had the pleasure of a visit from Bristol University Botanic Garden staff, Claire, Vicki and Pat. Pat is the horticultural trainee and Claire on an apprenticeship. The orchid project team gave whistle stop training in everything orchid including laboratory propagation (seed sowing and re-plating) pollinating to produce seed, and all aspects of successful orchid culture.

We are delighted to continue work with our partners at the Bristol University Botanic Garden and have lots of plans for initiatives next year around pollination and orchids.
