Welcome to Carter and Holmes Orchids!

For many years, Carter and Holmes Orchids has been providing quality orchids of many varieties to hobby growers and collectors, as well as orchid societies, botanical gardens and more.

We welcome visitors to view our greenhouses year round and shopping is encouraged. Our normal hours are Monday through Saturday 9am -5pm. We have greenhouses full of plants that have come from our thriving breeding program. There is always something new blooming at Carter and Holmes!

We invite you to search our on line catalog for your Orchid and Growing Supply needs and to visit our extensive orchid care section.

Please be advised due to current and expected cold weather across the country we may NOT be able to ship Ready to Bloom Gift Orchids to arrive in time for the holidays in certain locations. Any locations with day or night temperatures below freezing are not safe to ship these plants. Please make sure you provide a daytime contact number where we can reach you if needed.

Winter Packing & Shipping 2018-2019

Beginning November 7th, Carter and Holmes will be charging our Winter Packing Charge of $3.50 per plant shipment, instead of our regular $2.50 packing charge. We will be using Heat Packs as needed in order for plants to arrive safely, and when we do so we will charge an additional $0.95. Even though a box may be headed for a warm weather destination, many of our boxes pass through hubs in colder locations.
Thank you!
