Group Visits
Do you belong to a group or club that is interested in plants? If so then why not take a trip to visit our orchid paradise?
Rain or shine we can guarantee a great show of orchids 12 months of the year. Whether you are serious orchid enthusiasts, keen gardeners or just looking for a memorable day out then make sure that our nursery is in your programme of events for this year.
Our orchids in bloom are ever-changing with rare and exotic to the popular and latest varieties. Many of these orchids you won't see anywhere else in the UK and are part of the nursery collection built up over 60 years. The flowers on show change from season to season making it always worth a visit!
With such an amazing range of orchids, Burnham Nurseries is the ideal venue for your group visit. Both educational and fun, it is all under cover, with some stunning specimens on display all year round.
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!
Prior booking of groups is preferred and appreciated if possible.
Features:
- Free parking including ample room for coaches
- Guided Tour
- Café Vanilla for light refreshments
- Orchid Shop with books, gifts, feed, compost, sundries and of course the orchids themselves
- A comfortable temperature all year round and all under cover from the elements
Or maybe you are a member of a cycling club, book group or love to knit and natter. We would love you to make our café your venue to meet up and enjoy your hobby! The orchids are a fantastic subject for artists and photographers too.
Why not hire our café for a birthday or other celebration? Evenings are available to book, get in touch.
