This Workshop will cover the scientific principles of plant growth and propagation methods, such as plant division and will include demonstrations of growing media and information on how to best look after your Orchids. 
This course is ideal for rare plant collectors, horticultural students, keen gardeners or those that have a particular interest in Orchids. Whether you are a beginner or you have a particular interest in Orchids this Masterclass is for you. 
This is a 3-hour Workshop where you will learn the very specialised methods involved in dividing orchids and develop a range of techniques that you will be able to take home and apply to creating and your own Orchid collection. 
At the end of the day, participants can take home the plant and propagation materials they generated during the class. 
The course facilitator will not only teach different techniques but also share his knowledge and experience, leading to a deeper understanding of plant physiology and propagating techniques.
