Orchids of Britain, especially the Yorkshire Dales

Since 1979 plants have played a big part in Nigel’s life. After qualifying from Askham Bryan College NIgel’s work in horticulture took him to Oxford Botanical Gardens and into the Tropical Houses to work with their Alpines, Tropical Ferns and Orchids. His work sparked his interest in native plants and orchids and he has travelled widely to seek out species. The horticultural world continues to benefit from Nigel’s expertise as he is active in a number of roles within the RHS. Nigel lives in the Yorkshire Dales. His talk will be on his travels in search of our native orchids here in the Yorkshire Dales and other counties.
