Orchid Must-Sees in London, Edinburgh? - Orchid Board

jrodpad · #1 09-20-2011, 11:37 AM

Hoping that our UK members can help me out. I'm going to be in London and Edinburgh with the family and was wondering if there are any particular must-see orchid stops nearby? We're going to be doing all of the lame touristy things while we're there and I would love to break up the museum, cathedrial, monument, routine with a side trip or two to a botanical garden or orchid greenhouse....

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew - Home Page

An OB member sent me photos from his trip to Kew - simply amazing!

Kew is indeed a must.

When are you going? There might be some orchid related activities going on while you're there.

Thanks for the info guys - I will definately put KEW and RBGE on the list!

Camile, I'm in the UK from September 25 until October 4. It's not a whole lot of time - but please let me know if you know of anything interesting going on.

Thanks so much!
