Join us in Welwyn at 8pm on Thursday 22 January for 'Wild Orchids of Hertfordshire' –  the 2026 Gerald Salisbury Memorial Lecture.

Co-county flora recorder Dr Ian Denholm will give a talk that he and Prof. Richard Bateman, a fellow orchid expert and enthusiast, have prepared. Together, they have half a century's experience surveying for orchids in Hertfordshire.

The annual lecture is jointly organised with Welwyn Natural History Society and open to the public as well as members. There is a £5 entry fee for everyone except members of the Welwyn NHS.  Refreshments will be available.

There is parking around Welwyn Civic Centre, Prospect Place, AL6 9ER and at the rear.
