Our Commitment to Sustainability
Cal Coast Orchids is dedicated to implementing best practices and sustainable methods.
The founders of Cal Coast Orchids have experience growing orchids all over the world–from Europe, to the Asian Pacific region, to the east and west coasts of North America. This global perspective places Cal Coast in the unique position of not only being able to acknowledge the widespread impact our industry has on the environment as a whole, but also understanding the necessity of minimizing our footprint. We are blessed to be located on the central coast of California–one of the most beautiful places in our country–and we feel called to maintain the environment that allows us to grow healthy, vibrant, beautiful orchids.
