Hardy Orchid Weekend at Burnham Orchid Nursery
Forches Cross Newton Abbot
Sat/Sun 7th & 8th May
Hardy Terrestrial orchid expert Jeff Hutchings from Laneside Hardy Orchid Nursery in Lancashire will be visiting the Chelsea Gold Medal winning Burnham Orchid Nursery at Newton Abbot for the weekend.
He will be bringing a selection of specimen show plants for visitors to see and offering for sale the widest selection of outdoor orchids available in the country. These specimens will include a pot of the rare British Native Slipper Orchid, until recently represented by one wild plant in Yorkshire.
At 11.30 each morning he will be giving a talk on how to grow these beautiful orchids in your garden or meadow and from 2.00 to 3.00 pm each day will be holding a clinic answering questions, giving advice and repotting customer’s hardy orchids.
Why not take the opportunity to learn about hardy orchids, including our own British native orchids, take refreshments in the coffee shop and then wander round the exotic tropical orchids offered by Burnhams.
Jeff has run Laneside from its inception in 2002 and has built up a reputation for providing good quality legally grown terrestrial orchids to customers throughout Europe. The 2011 catalogue lists over 150 different species and hybrids, providing orchids for any type of garden situation.
He regularly exhibits at RHS and other major shows and gives talks all round the UK. Later this year he will be guest speaker at an orchid weekend in Germany.
His book, “Growing orchids in a British garden” has sold over 750 copies during the last three years and provides simple information on what to grow and how to grow them.
Last year he provided orchids for the wildflower meadow on top of one of the Olympic village buildings and has been involved in numerous native planting schemes.
