South Coast Orchids in Vista

I have told you about the occasional orchid warehouse sales at South Coast Orchids...stay tuned because there might be another in late February or some time in March. Not only does South Coast Orchids put out some of the most gorgeous and healthy plants available, but attending one of these events is a great way to check out their farm and facility off Mar Vista in Vista. They also operate Sun Dial Farm next door that puts out beautiful lettuce varieties and basil. Thank you Endeavour for the tour yesterday and the beautiful arrangement. 😊Around The Towners, please let me know which of you might be interested in a farm tour in the future, and I will see if we can make it happen.

*Orchid tip of the day: Despite their exquisite beauty, it is surprising to learn that orchids thrive on neglect! They love indirect light and only require about a shot glass of water every two weeks.

If you have been one of the people who benefited from one of the sales in the past, have enjoyed their beautiful plants and wonderful hospitality and customer service at South Coast Orchids, would you consider taking the time to give them a nice review on google like I plan to do? It only takes a minute.
