raised of £50,000 target by 13 supporters

    Weʼve raised £360 to help rebuild the 115 year old Orchid Farm (Jardim Orchidea) destroyed by fire on Madeira Island.

    Madeirã, Portugal
    Funded on Tuesday, 13th September 2016

    Don't have time to donate right now?

    Story

    A collection of 50,000 fully-grown orchids was destroyed on Tuesday night. The private collection dates back 115 years and had been maintained over four generations of the Pregetter family (Austrian Decent). Jardim Orquídea was considered to be one of the largest private collections in the world, with many of the specimens extinct elsewhere. Only 2000 plants are thought to recoverable and with a normal growing cycle of up to 20 years the future of the gardens remains uncertain.

    £50,000 sounds like a lot, but it's nothing. At best it is £1 for each destroyed orchid.

    Please donate as much as you can to help bring this Jardim Orchidea back to this beautiful island.
    I will not see the farm return to it's former beauty in my lifetime, but at least it's something for my grandchildren to enjoy.

      Visited this garden the day before the fire. Such lovely people and a wonderful garden. I hope they will be able to recover.

    I'm an English resident of Madeira Island. I am not connected in any way to the Orchid Farm. I have visited the farm many times and this disaster breaks my heart.
