Dear Orchid Friends,

Due to pandemic related concerns, we have reduced our retail business hours.

We are unable to welcome tourists at this time due to reduced staff. For tourists, periodically check our website for when we will again be open to the general public.

        Updated 05/03/22:  Here are our fairly certain open hours for May 2022, but please call or check this website before visiting.    Please do not visit if you have been in close contact with anyone who has recently tested positive for COVID or if you have COVID-like symptoms.

The safety of our customers and staff is of the utmost importance to us.  Masks are required at all times while on the nursery grounds (indoors and outdoors). Please maintain a distance of 6 feet between your party and your fellow orchid lovers and the SBOE staff.  Some parts of our nursery will be closed during this limited opening.

    Our open days/orchid shopping schedule is simple, but please call or re-check website the day before or day of your visit to confirm that we will indeed be open:
