BURNHAM ORCHID MASTERCLASSES
For several years running we have held very successful full-day Orchid Masterclasses in conjunction with the Royal Horticultural Society.
It is an ideal way for any beginner or enthusiastic novice to learn more about these fascinating plants and how to grow them.
We keep to small groups to make sure everyone gets a chance to ask questions and get the most out of the day.
Subjects covered include:
An introduction the family of orchids, how and where they grow in the world
A few of the most commonly grown types covered in more depth
Simple rules for their requirements: light, temperature, watering, feeding and pest control
Hands-on potting demonstrations with a chance to have a go yourself
Guided tour of the growing houses
Plus refreshments throughout the day including a light lunch.
The days run from 10am until 3pm giving plenty of time for browsing and buying!

If you are part of an organisation such a botanical garden, zoo or garden centre and would like to have a separate Masterclass just for a group of your staff then we can organise that for you!
We can tailor the day to your exact needs for your own orchid collection, helping you to grow your orchids better for display or enabling you to advise your customers with the correct information.
We are also willing to run one-on-one sessions for individuals or even consultancy visits to you.
