Our Services

Broward Native Orchids is restoring native orchids throughout Broward County. We are partners with the UF/IFAS Broward County Extension Office in Davie, and the “Million Orchid Project” at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. Now you can be part of it too!

Orchids for your home

Florida native orchids are a wonderful addition to the home landscape. Once they are established they are virtually care free.

Through our “Broward County Native Orchid Project” partnership with UF/IFAS Extension, Broward County, you may purchase individual plants and install them in your yard. This is Florida Friendly landscaping practice #1: Right Plant, Right Place. View the video on installation practices to see how to mount them in your yard.
