A key element of the Orchid Project is Mendip R & D. On Thursdays after school and Friday mornings Mendip Studio School students work on projects ranging from electronics, science, technology, computing and of course orchids. McKenzie, Ronnie and Connor are continuing their Coelogyne cristata project and made media this morning. Paige and Martha are working on the project with the Timsbury Cheshire Home and spent this morning re-plating their Cymbidium hookerianum seedlings in-vitro.
