SUMMARY:Orchid Safari to Bull Island
DESCRIPTION:Visit Bull Island to go on an Orchid Safari\n  \nI visited Bull Island a few weeks ago in May and there were no orchids visible\, the cold easterly wind had suppressed their growth. However\, I've seen lots of photos of wild orchids online recently so I think its timely to make a return visit. \n  \nWe meet at the Bull Island Visitor Centre on Sunday 15th June. Bring water to drink\, good walking shoes and your copies of Ireland's Wild Orchids for ID purposes and also a magnifying glass as a lot of the beauty is in the detail. The aim this year is to locate any sign of the Common Twayblade\, Neottia ovata.

DESCRIPTION:A welcome back from our summer break with what will no doubt be a wonderful talk by Saul Walker on Orchids in Oz. \nAn introduction to Saul Walker from the BBC Gardener's Wold website (https://www.bbcgardenersworldlive.com/meet_the_experts/saul-walker/) \nSaul Walker’s passion in horticulture\nSaul Walker fell in love with horticulture through his Grandparents passion for visiting historic houses and gardens\, and after a brief spell as an Archaeologist\, he went to train and work as a Gardener for the National Trust at Antony House in Cornwall. \nAfter many years there he was accepted to study on the prestigious 3-year Kew Diploma of Botanical Horticulture at RBG\, Kew and was exposed to the fantastic plant collections in the gardens and glasshouses\, as well as travelling to Australia\, Southern Spain and the French Riviera to study plants in their native habitats. \nFollowing his time at Kew he spent a couple of years as part of the Show management teams for both the RHS Hampton Court Palace and RHS Chelsea Flower Show respectively\, however he was unable to resist the call back to his native Devon\, where he is now the Head Gardener of Stonelands House- a privately owned 10-acre garden. \nSaul’s speciality interests include Woodland Gardens\, Orchids\, and Exotic plants. A member of the RHS Tender Plant Committee and Trustee of The Hardy Plant Society and the Chartered Institute of Horticulture\, he also co-hosts the Talking Heads Podcast with Lucy Chamberlain. \n  \nWe will also have some orchids for raffle on the night\, tickets can be purchased by cash or card.
