What an amazing place! A pure delight coming here. A vast array of different species from orchids to ferns, Colocasias, anthuriums.
A special thank you to Mariano Medda for a sneaky tour into the breeding houses which was amazing 👏. Keep up the great work you are all doing

Staff is very friendly, a very affordable and relaxing area to go. The garden both inside and outside is magnificent and very well maintained. There are many areas to sit down and relax to fully enjoy the scenery and learn all about orchids. They also have an area where its possible to see how the orchids are grown and tended too, showing the process all the orchids might have gone through. Recommended for everyone, even those who dont think they are too fond off flowers. We didnt see many other visitors while we were here, and seemimgly had most of the grounds to ourself. 1 hour experience, but if you want to spend time in the garden and bring your own lunch you can easily stay there for 2-3 hours.

Google Maps is an excellent way to find here as it is in a countryside location. Always in bloom as plants are rotated to be the most spectacular of their type. One large display greenhouse so you can be round in 10 mins but better to sit ponder and marvel at beauty for an hour! Also 4 working glasshouse sheds with hundreds of plants in each - but no entry, just viewing platform.

Thoroughly loved this place, they have a wonderful collection of Orchids. Well worth a visit. Somehow the residents of Jersey don't visit it, it's mainly tourists that do

Beautiful place to visit, calm, peaceful, a true oasis. A paradise of orchids and even if you don't know anything about them and you'd like to learn, the staff there are super knowledgeable and helpful.
