Title
Orchids and Tropical Exotic Plants from the Big Island of Hawaii
Description
The 'Big Island' of Hawaii is situated about 20 degrees north of the equator (further south than the Florida Keys), and has a range of climates from near desert to steamy tropical jungle to cool mountain rain forests. It is an ideal environment for growing almost anything.
Sugar cane and pineapples are gone from here leaving specialty agriculture as our largest industry. As you drive the highways and back roads of the Island of Hawaii, you see rolling fields of dracaena, nurseries of exotic trees, hothouses full of orchids. Visit the weekend markets in any small town and you will find small growers selling tropicals many folks have never seen or heard of at prices that will make you drool.
Big Island Growers is essentially a venue for the hundreds of small to medium size growers of tropical plants to get their products out on the Internet where the connected world can see them and purchase safely online. We simply provide each grower with an easy way to post a home page and a complete catalog with photographs, descriptions and pricing.
