A fascinating talk with slides.
A look into the little-known world of the largest family of flowering plants on earth.
Although there are well over 20,000 different species of orchids in the world, very few are known to the average person. Among all these different plants are many really quirky examples that would interest even the non-plants person. Just how do some of them manage to grow on the branches of trees or rocks making no contact with soil at all? The answer might surprise you.
A fascinating talk with slides that makes a very interesting evening for anyone that is interested in plants and nature.

I have been in the plant world since leaving school many years ago. In the early nineties I set up in business specializing in orchids selling via mail order, orchid shows and garden fairs. Since then I have presented talks to many Garden organizations, orchid societies and clubs.
I have traveled to events in many parts of the UK and beyond traveling as far as Dublin, Glasgow and Carmarthen.
My main talk is an introduction to orchids aimed at windowsill growers and beginners. However, I can do talks going into more depth in my subject. Talks can be tailored to your requirements.
I charge a basic £90.00 fee plus 25 pence per mile for travel. Local talks (under 10ml.) traveling charge will be waived.
I don't mind being contacted at short notice and it is even worth a try if you have had a speaker cancel at the last minute. I will try to help.
