McBean’s Orchids is a British orchid cultivation nursery in Lewes, East Sussex, England.  They are “Rare Orchid Growers” from the 1800s hidden away in the beautiful Sussex Downs.

Visiting McBeans’s Orchids and its gorgeous glasshouses in the British heatwave on a morning after a Tom Dixon party, the place had an otherworldly feel to it.

Apart from my fascination for their antique blue orchid boxes that they deliver to the Royalty in London, I love them because they opened their doors to all the local designers and artists in Sussex like Tom Dixon, so that they could use their workshop during the Covid Pandemic.

A rare Orchid with a cause!
