Our Orchid Garden celebrates one of the most exquisite plants in the plant kingdom. Although orchids can be found in most places of the world, the ones with the most flamboyant are cultivars and hybrids of orchids originating in the tropics, from the humid rainforests to the temperate climates of countries in Southeast Asia and South America.

In Our Orchid Garden, we get to know all the popular orchids. We get to know their names, find out where they come from, and learn how they are grown. Whether you are an orchid enthusiast or a casual browser, we hope you will enjoy visiting our website. If you are looking for information on orchid, we hope that Our Orchid Garden will be able to furnish you with what you are looking for.

About Us

My name is Tim and my wife is Esther. We are both gardening enthusiasts and orchid lovers. I have been growing orchids since small, spending hours in my garden watering (and at times over-watering) my orchids. Today I continue to enjoy orchids and am passionate to share what I have learned about them. Our Orchid Garden is one in our online garden series of gardening websites.
