I am Zoe Barnes and I have been with the project for 3 years now. I am in charge orchids with the genus of Prosthecheas, Sophronitis, and Encyclia. I have also been to Durban south Africa to the BGCI conference with the project.

Set up has started and we have moved all the tables into place. Trade and societies have started to arrive and it is looking really good. Goodbye school, hello plant hall.
For the congress, we have put together different coloured passes on lanyards to make people stand out. There’s are all the different types
For the organising team, we have t shirts to make us stand out from the cloud for people to ask us questions
In every registrants congress bag we are going to have a seedling (like the ones below) at the age of two, which is ready to be potted out. We have just reserved our order of jars to put them in and it is my job to get them ready.
We have started to engrave the trophies for BOC, which I have designed. This is the first one we have done and there are plenty to follow.
