Welcome
Welcome to The Mathers Foundation.
Established in 2019, the Foundation supports orchid conservation research and breeding. We have a dedicated site in West Sussex to house our ex-situ conservation work, which includes five of the UK’s National Plant Collections. The Foundation was recently awarded the Brickell Award by Plant Heritage for its conservation work.
We're Award Winning!
