- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 05 Sep, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sat, 05 Sep, 2026 at 11:00 am (+10:00)
- **Event Description**: 🌼 See the world’s largest endangered orchid conservation program with a behind-the-scenes tour of the Orchid Conservation Program shade houses 🌼

Orchids are among our most beautiful and intriguing native wildflowers, with Victoria home to over 400 species, most of which grow nowhere else in the world. Sadly, however, half of our native orchid species are threatened with extinction in the wild.

The Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria Orchid Conservation Program grows threatened orchids and plants them back out into the bush to create new wild populations and reduce their risk of extinction. Underpinning this work, the program undertakes cutting-edge scientific research on all aspects of orchid ecology, including on pollination, symbiotic fungi, propagation methods, and reintroduction science.

We aim to prevent future orchid extinctions by:

- Storing a genetically diverse collection of seed and symbiotic fungi
- Growing suitable numbers of our threatened orchids for reintroductions
- Reintroducing these species to protected public and private land, where the appropriate vegetation, climate and insect pollinators are present.

Please note that the minimum age of attendees on this tour is 12 years old, and that the shade houses are not wheelchair-accessible.
