We love the beginning of summer and all that this implies. Long, warm,
sunny days yield great results for our plants and we feel if we can see them
growing almost daily. We have to be honest and also admit that
we are looking at this coming summer with a new perspective. There
will be no Summer Orchid Fest this year at Parkside. If you have
not heard this already, then let us inform you that we have decided to
discontinue this event after 11 GREAT years. It is was fun, but
oh, so much hard work all summer. The good news is that Silva
Orchids of Neptune New Jersey is stepping up and taking over. They
will host the Shore Orchid Festival July 23, 24 and 25th. Click
on this LINK for more information about this
event. Parkside Orchids will be participating and selling plants
at this event, so please, plan to visit us there. We are happy to
accept preorders from our inventory.
There are other changes coming to Parkside. You may recall that in past summers, we have been closed on Sundays in August. We have decided to go a little farther with this, and will be instituting permanent, new hours on August 1st. Please make note of this, and tell your orchid friends. BEGINNING AUGUST 1ST PARKSIDE ORCHID NURSERY WILL BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ON FRIDAYS, SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS, OR BY APPOINTMENT ONLY DURING THE WEEK. This is a reduction in overall hours, but we will still be here for our customers and will be happy to accommodate special visits if you are unable to make it on the weekends. In addition to a change in hours, we are going to gradually refine and focus our inventory. We think you will find that these changes offer you a more diverse collection of orchid species and hybrids and a better quality. By having less in total volume, we can give more individual time to quality care for the plants that we do offer. Frankly, this is going to be more fun for us, as growing orchids (as opposed to running a big business) is what we love most. We are moving plants around and changing the physical lay out, so it will look a little different when you visit. Just ask for help in finding the things you need. For those of you who are fans of Facebook, please become a friend of Parkside Orchid Nursery on Facebook. I find this format very quick and easy for communication. I post frequent pictures and comments about the latest things of interest here at the nursery. I would like to share below, some of the recent pictures of plants in bud and bloom. |

Please visit us this summer. We are going to miss seeing some of our friends who come from a distance, usually to the Summer Orchid Fest. If you are coming from afar, but want to plan a visit, just let us know. We can arrange for lunch or snacks to make your visit leisurely and relaxed. It would be great to have time to visit and share stories together. All the best for your summer! Tom, John and the crew at Parkside |
