Ninety minutes down I-10. Worth the drive — or order online and we’ll ship to Baton Rouge in 1-2 days, frost-protected.
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
Baton Rouge’s closest dedicated orchid farm. 88 miles. 90 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.
Baton Rouge orchid collectors have been making the drive to Belle Chasse since we opened in 2007. Ninety minutes south on I-10 puts you in our greenhouse, picking Cattleyas in flower rather than guessing from a phone photo. For collectors who can’t make the trip, we ship to East Baton Rouge Parish in 1-2 business days.
Baton Rouge’s growing climate is nearly identical to ours — same heat, same humidity, same long growing season. Orchids that thrive in our greenhouse will thrive on your patio or in your home with no climate adjustment.
We supply Baton Rouge florists, event designers, and LSU-area garden enthusiasts. Several Garden District collectors maintain standing relationships with us for specific Cattleya bloom seasons and rare Vanda releases.
