This place has lots of orchid and lots of them are bloomed beautifully when we visited. A must-see place for orchid/flower lovers. I never see any other place like. The owners are very nice.

Spent a few hours at the nursery: the staff were extremely helpful and friendly and we had interesting chats about cultivation methods.

This place is off the beaten track but well worth finding. Take your camera for sure and snap away. You will never see so many different speices of orchids in one place. Walk through and just snap away.

If you love orchids or even just flowers, this is a must see! Local grower who has been here for a long time with an amazing set of greenhouses filled with the widest variety of orchids we could ever imagine! And the plants are HUGE, I have rarely seen this size of plants even in hotels and restaurants! The staff... More
