Orchid Hurricane Shelter -- near Jupiter, Florida
We posted briefly about this under "Wilma Report," apologies if this is a
re-run for some of you. But we know that many in our area lost their growing areas (whether it be their trees, pool enclosures, or backyard shadehouses) during Wilma. If you are in that situation: We are offering bench space here at Juno Beach Orchids for rent. We would love to be able to provide it to you free of charge, but given our own bills, the best we can do is offer it at our own operating cost -- $75/month for a 3' x 12' bench that will hold about 90 6" pots (approximately $2/sq ft). The gist of the deal -- which is NOT traditional "boarding" (which runs about $4/plant/month around here) -- is that the plants you place on these rental benches will get what our own plants get (water, food, fungicide, pesticide), when our own plants get it. Regular monitoring, and any additional care a particular plant may require, will be the renter's responsibility (to be accomplished during our regular business hours of Tues-Sun 10 am to 5 pm). Nor do we have the staff to call you up, or make a delivery, when one of your plants here comes into bloom so that you can take it home to enjoy. Ten benches have already been reserved; we still have six available and may be able to clear a couple more if the need is there. -- Kenni Judd Juno Beach Orchids |
