We are a certified nursery

Hawaiian Floral Nursery is Certified

What does that mean? It means the orchids in our nursery are grown under regulated conditions put forth by the Department of Agriculture. This includes, but is not limited to standardized benches that meet minimum height requirements for sanitary purposes, as well as orchids being regularly inspected by Department of Agriculture inspectors. Plants are inspected for injurious plant pests and diseases, and root samples are also taken and analyzed to ensure there are no burrowing nematodes.

We are certified to ship to all states, and each box is stamped with our certificate. Each stamp has the following imprint:

HAWAII DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
PLANT QUARANTINE BRANCH

NEMATODE CERTIFICATE #____

This is to certify that the plant materials in this shipment meet California's burrowing and reniform nematode quarantine requirements and originated from a nursery participating under the terms of California's Master Permit for the Shipment of Nursery Stock from Hawaii to California, Permit No. QC 650.

 

Why is the State of California mentioned in the stamp?

Presently, the State of California has the most stringent requirements for plants, so our stamp satisfies requirements for all other States.
