The charity conserves living specimens of historically collected species dating back to the Victorian age and hybridised orchids, develops new breeding lines of orchids and conducts and/or funds scientific research into orchids and their habitats and disseminates the results of such research. It provides public access to orchids and their history through attendance at public shows.
