The Beginning of Our Orchid Garden in Phuket
Through my old contact at the top orchid nursery in Chiang Mai, with whom I’ve had professional dealings and purchased orchids, we have carefully selected a beautiful range of Dendrobiums and Vandas.
Yesterday, the first shipment arrived—two large boxes weighing 90 kilos—packed with orchids that are now ready to be introduced to our new orchid garden in Phuket.
The first task is to unpack them, place each orchid on its hanger, and give them a much-needed watering to refresh them after their journey. Thailand plays a leading role in the global orchid trade, and many of the orchids in our garden are unique hybrids, showcasing the rich diversity of these plants. To help visitors identify their favorites, I photograph each orchid and assign it a unique number. You’ll be able to match these numbers with the photos in our online gallery, making it easy to find your favorite orchids during your visit.
This is just the start of our orchid garden in Phuket, where I plan to add more species from across Thailand. I look forward to sharing this evolving journey with you as our garden continues to grow.
