Special Group Package

We are sure that your enthusiastic members love their plants, but have they tried growing wonderful and exciting orchids? Maybe they have been too afraid; orchids are much misunderstood but are easier to grow than many people think!

Here at awarding-winning, family-run Burnham Nurseries Ltd we have been growing orchids for over 50 years achieving many RHS Gold Medals at The Chelsea Flower Show.

If your members would like to learn more about these amazing plants then we have a special offer for you…

In the ‘Special Group Package’ we will include in your visit:
Guided Tour of our display house ‘Orchid Paradise’ and nursery with lots of Orchid Cultural Tips along the way.
Orchid Surgery: your members can bring along any orchids they may already have for expert advice and even re-potting*
Refreshments: A cup of tea or coffee per person is included.

Get a group together of 10 people or more and visit us at any time of the year and you can experience all this for only £5.00 per person!

So, if you think your members could be bitten by the orchid bug, contact us now to book your ‘Orchid Experience’!

* Depending on time and numbers of plants needing advice, we may be limited to the number of plants per person. We will, however, try to deal with everyone’s questions whenever possible. We may offer re-potting of the plants depending on necessity, season and time available.
