Alan MacKenzie, chair of the Scottish Orchid Society pictured in the Orchid house at the Glasgow Botanic Gardens with a Paphiopedilum Harrisianum Orchid also known as a slipper orchid.THE chair of a leading horticultural organisation has welcomed the increasing popularity of indoor gardening amongst young people ahead of Scotland’s Orchid Fair this weekend.
He said: “What we’ve noticed is that since Covid, a lot of people have taken up indoor gardening. When I first became interested in orchids, the people at meetings tended to be elderly. But you’re now beginning to see more and more younger people. The sprouting of this new generation of horticultural hobbyists is of particular importance in the context of orchid conservation, he said.
Alan hopes to see many enthusiasts at Scotland’s only dedicated Orchid Fair tomorrow and Sunday in the Botanic Gardens’ enchanting Kibble Palace.
