Using heated houses enables Gavin to grow many different types of orchids - he grows 17 species, including some which are up to 25 years old. He has even grown some from tissue culture.
Gavin works the orchids year round, employing around six full time workers in the peak season.
Our group was fascinated to learn about the intricacies of growing, picking and packing for the export market and really enjoyed looking at all the beautiful blooms.
