Boarding
Orchid boarding is the process of sending out-of-bloom orchids to Chadwick’s for tender loving care until they re-bloom. This service is quite popular in the Richmond area with thousands of residents and businesses participating. Many people have just a few orchids that they board at Chadwick’s, though it is not uncommon for some clients to rotate as many as 500-1000 plants each year. Orchids generally bloom for 1 to 3 months, and if taken care of should live for many years.
For $2.25 per month, we will board your orchid under greenhouse conditions until it blooms again. There is a minimum charge of $10 and the maximum charge will be $27, or 12 months. If an orchid boards longer than 12 months, there is no additional charge.
We accept many orchid types. Repotting, if necessary, may incur an additional fee. Cymbidiums and Grammatophylums are not accepted at this time.
Repotting, if necessary, may incur an additional fee. Plants should be given to us in good condition and in no larger than a 6” pot (or an additional fee). You may drop off plants at our greenhouse in Powhatan, or at either of our stores in Richmond.
