Growing orchids in Manatee County since 1981
The greenhouses on Taylor Drive have been full of orchids since 1981.
Three greenhouses. Ten acres off Taylor Drive. Over 300,000 species and hybrids in the collection.
What's actually growing back there.
Three greenhouses sit on ten acres off Taylor Drive: shade cloth overhead, corrugated roof panels catching the Florida light, and long benches of clay pots running back further than you'd guess from the road. Every plant gets a hand written tag, bark and sphagnum under a name you can read for yourself.

About this preview
I built this for Palmer Orchids. Here's how it becomes real.
This preview is temporary. It comes down two weeks after I first send it your way — the follow-up email has the exact date. If you want it finished, I finish it: the full site built out, the AI-visibility layer that gets Palmer Orchids into AI search answers, and 90 days of tweaks after launch.
Websites start at $1,497. Most land between $1,497 and $3,500 depending on size, and I confirm the exact number with you before any money moves.
If anything I ship is broken or incomplete, I fix it at no charge. No contracts; everything after launch is month to month.
Founding-client rate for this month's projects. Ask me when you reply.
