The Foundation is based on a site near Pulborough in West Sussex, with the benefit of modern glasshouses with a high degree of automation and control of our carbon-neutral heating system, shading and humidification. The initial breeding population has been largely established from the Eric Young Orchid Foundation in Jersey with further breeding stock acquired in 2020 from Ecuador and Colombia. 

We have recently completed our first round of breeding, both of species and hybrids, and we are as interested in conserving original breeding lines from the last century as well as modern plants. The Foundation is a registered charity, chaired by Gill Mathers, while the plants are grown and bred by Jim Durrant.
