PRODUCTION/DISTRIBUTION

• A cooler-grown, hardened-plant will survive the supply-chain much better than a soft plant grown in warmer climates

• The location of our orchid production facility permits more efficient distribution to highly populated areas

• Warming packs are included in each case for shipping through cold distribution centers and refrigerated trucks

• Ethyl Bloc sachets are included in each case to protect orchids from potential ethylene damage

• Green Circle Growers have invested in the technology to deliver an orchid that is exactly to specifications
