Andy's Orchids in Encinitas is pleased to announce its 2022 Summer Open House 6/17Fri - 6/19Sun.



Andy's Orchids
It's a pretty special, really special place.
More than 700,000 pots and over 7,000 species of orchids form a less than one acre jungle of plants and flowers from all over the world.

Among them are not only Japanese orchids, but also decades-old haunted orchids and other species that seem to be in danger of losing their homes and becoming extinct due to environmental destruction.
For this reason they are also called "Noah's Ark".




Usually, the main sales are online, but during the Open House, which is held four times a year in spring, summer, fall, and winter, visitors can enter without reservation and free of charge. Usually, orchids are mainly sold online, but during the four Open House events held in spring, summer, fall, and winter each year, visitors can enter the orchidery free of charge, without reservations. You can also see how the orchids are cultivated and, most importantly, you can talk directly with the owner, experienced staff, and other orchid and plant lovers.




This particular Fushimi Inari orchid place came about when the owner, Andy Phillip, was 7 years old and was given two different orchids as a gift.
How come ？ they are the same type of plant? Why ？ are they so different in color and shape ？ compared to, say, roses, which are quite similar even though they are of different varieties ・? ？ Why are orchids classified as the same orchid when there is such a big difference between them?
It became a rare and special place in the world, and when I came to realize it, a jungle of orchids was created.




Since this is a working nursery and not a retail shop, some of the greenhouses have narrow aisles and are not wheelchair accessible. However, you don't have to go deep into the jungle to enjoy the shop. One particular sycamore tree, a large dome-like tree with branches over 80 years old, makes you feel like you are in an oasis in the desert when you sit under its shade and look up at it on a hot summer day. There are many other booths outside the greenhouse, so there is much more to see than just the jungle.




Surrounded by orchids grown with love and care in this special place, it will be a special weekend and inspiration.
