More information from organisers:

Kew Gardens’ much-loved annual orchid festival is back. Orchids 2023 is a vibrant celebration of colour and warmth. From lush rainforests and volcanic mountains to arid desert plains, Cameroon’s huge variety of plants and wildlife are supported by varied habitats, reflected across the ten unique climatic zones within the Princess of Wales Conservatory.

On a day out at Kew, take a journey through the state-of-the-art glasshouse. Discover larger-than-life sculptures by the team of expert horticulturists, hand-crafted from an amazing array of real, colourful orchids and plants. And don’t miss the towering giraffes, wallowing hippos, a troop of gorillas, and magnificent roaring lions. 

Cameroon is home to some of the world’s most delicate and threatened orchids – some so rare their locations are kept secret for their protection!
