On the Behind the Scenes Glasshouse Tour you will discover the wonders of our tropical plant collection and rare plants not normally seen by the public. This tour is a must for orchid fans, aroid freaks, and all those who appreciate the joy of growing plants indoors.
This tour begins at the The Calyx, our horticultural display centre where the cafe is open from 8 am and toilets are available. This is a walking tour in a behind the scenes workplace where our horticultural staff are working hard to maintain these gems of our plant collection. Enclosed footwear is preferred, participants need to follow the directions of their guide and during the tour we will be entering hot, humid tropical environments in relatively confined spaces within the glasshouses. Places on this tour are limited to 10 people. If you have special needs or would like to bring a larger group please contact our tours team to arrange a private tour.
