With a strong belief in the necessity and beauty of orchids,
Parke Wright aims to bring attention to horticultural conservation
through this prestigious event. The world renowned 2024 RHS Chelsea
Flower Show to be held May 20th – 25th is expected to be a an even
more impressive display of floral beauty and environmental
awareness.
Following a most gratifying experience at the Chelsea Flower
Show in 2023 and receiving the Silver Medal Award for Education,
The Orchid Conservation Chelsea assembled an expert international
team. This highly respected team includes representatives from The
Commonwealth countries, in collaboration with the Royal Botanic
Gardens Kew and Grow Tropicals in the U.K., plus partnerships with
the Smithsonian’s North American Orchid Conservation Center,
Chicago Botanic Garden, Naples Botanical Garden (Florida),
University of Florida, Stetson University, Illinois College,
Glasgow Botanic Garden, Elite Orchids (U.K.), and sponsor J.P.
Wright & Company. The 2024 team will also include new
participants such as American Orchid Society, the Canadian Orchid
Congress, The University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, Longwood
Gardens, Birmingham Botanical Gardens, Essex Wildlife Trust,
Humboldt Botanical Garden and Bees for Development.
Realizing that the Chelsea Flower Show’s world media attention
offered an unprecedented opportunity to convey the urgent need for
orchid conservation, the organization developed a strong and
coordinated media message, with excellent results. For the upcoming
2024 show, the native orchids of Great Britain, India, Canada and
the United States will be featured at the Orchid Conservation
Chelsea exhibit in the Great Pavilion and will be discussed at the
Orchid Conservation Genius Bar.
In June 2023 following the Chelsea Flower Show, the organization
was honored to welcome Her Majesty The Queen to show the native
bees at Kew Gardens and pollinating orchids from around the world.
Her Majesty is the President of Bees for Development, and the
Orchid Conservation Chelsea is pleased to be collaborating in these
efforts.
