The Orchid Study Group Committee
COVID–19 ANNOUNCEMENT Given the present situation in the UK concerning the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, and in view of the Government’s recommendations, the committee of the Orchid Study Group has now decided to publish our new schedule of talks, demonstrations, and field trips for 2022. In the meantime, please feel free to contact us for updates via the OSG website e-mail addresses, but above all, keep safe
In the meantime, Keep safe and Keep well.
The Orchid Study Group is an autonomous society, established to promote a better understanding of orchid biology, conservation and cultivation. It does this by organizing its very own annual Welsh Orchid Festival and monthly talks. A series of field trips and visits to external sites and organisations are also part of our yearly programme. If you would like to join us, please visit our contact page for membership details.
The Committee of the Orchid Study Group is pleased to announce that, henceforth, our monthly meetings and Welsh Orchid Festival will be held at our new venue: Aberglasney Gardens, Llangathen, Carmarthenshire SA32 8QH.
Opportunities for volunteers
If you live locally (South and West Wales), have an interest in orchids and some time on your hands, or maybe you would like to improve your c.v., do please contact us listing your details, skills and interests – it may be that we can help.
Possible volunteering opportunities may involve helping with the cataloguing of books, orchid art and photographic images, helping organize the orchid festival, promotion and marketing, manning our stand at orchid shows, updating the website or even scientific research. It’s possible that you have a particular skill that you think might be of use to the OSG. If so, please bring it to our attention.
