1 Comments - FLOWing to a Chelsea medal?

By Luke Barnes | February 6, 2009

Snow wasn’t the only thing causing excitement at Writhlington school this week.  Granted most of the school were more interested in the snow but a select few of us were particularly excited about the arrival of an integral part of our Chelsea flower show display for 2009.

The Chelsea Flow Cabinate

The Chelsea Flow Cabinate

This brand new Laminar flow cabinate is a key part of or Chelsea display as it will feature a working micropropagation laboratory.  This flow cabinate allows us to work in a clean air environment while we sow orchid seed etc.

The challange now will be to transport this essential piece of equipment up to Chelsea and then back, and then into it’s final resting place in the new school in september 2010, but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it!

This is my 6th year involved with the project and now run the Micropropagation Lab and administer the website. I've been to Sikkim, in the Himalayas and also to the Cape Town flower show and am looking forward to going to Laos later this year. My favourite orchid probably has to be Coelogyne cristata.
