Kew Orchid Festival: Henck Röling Creates Beautiful Orchid Installations
The 25th annual Orchid Festival opened last weekend with a colourful explosion at Kew Gardens. This year the festival will celebrate the vibrant flowers and culture of Indonesia in the month-long display in the Princess of Wales Conservatory.
We interviewed Henck Röling, Kew Gardens Florist and volunteer, who took us around the displays and talked about the challenges their creation brought.
