Metairie’s nearest dedicated orchid grower.
Thirty minutes south. Mature blooming-size plants, not the seedlings or recycled big-box phals you find on Veterans Boulevard.
Same climate as your home. No transit shock. Plants thrive immediately.
A real working greenhouse — not a re-shipper, not a big-box reseller.
Walk in, pick your plant in flower, take it home. Tuesday–Saturday, 9–2.
The Short Version
Metairie’s closest dedicated orchid farm. 20 miles. 30 minutes. Mature blooming plants — not seedlings, not big-box re-blooms. Open to the public Tuesday through Saturday, or order online with frost-protected shipping.
Metairie residents have plenty of options for hibiscus and ferns, but for a real orchid selection — Cattleyas in flower, mounted Vandas, novelty Phalaenopsis crosses — you’re driving 30 minutes south to Belle Chasse. We’re the closest dedicated grower, and we’ve been here since 2007.
Metairie sits at the same latitude and humidity profile as our greenhouse. Whether you’re hanging Vandas on a patio in Old Metairie or starting a Cattleya collection in an Elmwood apartment, the plants we grow are already calibrated for your conditions.
We deliver weekly to Metairie florists and supply event arrangements at venues from Lakeside to Clearview. Walk-in visits Tuesday-Saturday are the best way to see what’s in flower and choose the exact plant going home with you.
