Orchid Botanics at OSGB Spring Show
RHS Wisley, 10th March 2018
The Society looks forward to welcoming Trey Sanders of Orchid Botanics, with Francis Quesada-Pallarés, to our Spring Show in March at RHS Wisley Garden. Trey will be well known to some of our members, having thrilled us with his presentations at Napier Hall in the past. Our show will be Trey's last, and this will be one of the last opportunities to buy from Trey as has decided to stop trading and give up his orchid collection before moving back to his home country of Australia. Trey's decision was not an easy one, but takes into account potential risks to his current business beyond 2019 and uncertainty over future CITES arrangements and costs in the UK.

Trey started trading in orchids back in 2011 and in the same year he was given the opportunity of trading at the Wales Orchid Festival by Dr Kevin Davies and the Wales Orchid Study Group. With mentoring from Malcolm Perry, a former trader himself, Trey has seen his business grow from selling a few orchids a month to over a 100 plants a month along with displaying and trading at numerous shows. Trey only grows and sells species, and had amassed a very large collection in Bristol.
