On 7 May 2026, our ENVS 5118 students visited the orchid nurseries and Walter Kerr Garden at Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden. The tour was led by our guest lecturer, Dr. Stephen Gale, who spearheads orchid conservation both in situ and ex situ in Hong Kong, South China, and the wider Indo-Burma region, and is a member of the IUCN SSC Orchid Specialist Group. The nurseries showcased a remarkable diversity of orchids, carefully cultivated to support conservation and protect endangered species. The visit deepened students’ understanding of orchids and highlighted the importance of preserving biodiversity.
