2 reviews for Cal Pacific Orchid Farm
This place is impressive. I love the orchid "room and board" service they have. It'll be worth the monthly cost to have them care for the orchids that I have a hard time caring for, don't have the space for, or the plants that are really expensive and exotic. That way I just need to pick them up when they are back in bloom and rotate the ones that are finished out. I'll keep my cymbidiums since they can withstand the cold and are easy to care for. YAY!
I also got an education of several more varieties of orchids. Just walking around this place on a weekend morning is a treat!

Cal Pacific is a hidden sanctuary of sorts. Its two acres of greenhouses, filled with exotic orchids from around the world is breathtaking. Unless you have a passion for orchids you most likely would not come across this place in your everyday travels as it is located off the beaten path.
Tucked away on a quiet street in Leucadia, Cal Pacific is also home to the only neighborhood Orchid Hotel where you can bring in your orchid plants whose blooming season has finished and this place will re-pot, nurture and house your babies until they bloom again. The rate is $1.50 per month per plant and there is a minimum of 5 plants per hotel lot. Pretty nifty eh? Orchids stay in bloom anywhere from one to four months.
The owner Kathy Desmond has been in the flower biz for many years and although most local greenhouses have been sold to developers this one is here to stay. The pictures tell it all.
