California Orchids is one of the oldest orchid boarding facilities in the San Francisco Bay Area. We have been growing orchids professionally for over 20 years, and operating our boarding business since 1985. Our location, coastal Marin County, allows us to grow a wide range of orchid genera.

At present we have 5 heated greenhouses and a large outdoor shade area. These areas make up over 15,000 square feet of space divided and heated according to varying needs of more than 20,000 orchid plants.

The central focus of California Orchids is to develop and grow orchid collections for our clients and we concentrate on this rather than wholesale or retail sales. The exception is our Bi-annual Sale, which is open to the public each spring and fall.

Our next sale will be in the Spring of 2009.
