Portagrow at the Kansas Orchid Society Show & AOS meeting

Portagrow is on the road again this spring and will be a vendor at the Kansas Orchid Society Show & American Orchid Society Member Meeting in Wichita, Kansas.  This should be a great show for orchid enthusiasts.  There are eleven vendors, including Portagrow, selling some of the best orchids from around the country.  There should be a large variety of plants to see as well as many fantastic displays.  An orchid lovers dream show!  We are looking forward to being a part of this large national show, our first, and surely not our last.  Please come see us at the show!  Here is the link for more information about the show: http://www.kansasorchidsociety.com/OrchidShows/Showindex.html

Portagrow has been given the opportunity to display and sell our products in two wonderful retail orchid establishments; Enthropic Orchids is a premier orchid supplier located at 869 Sante Fe Dr, Denver CO 80204.  Their website link is: http://enthropicorchids.com/
New Earth Orchids in Sante Fe, New Mexico is a high-end orchid center, selling both orchids and orchid supplies.  They are located at 6003 Jaguar Drive  Santa Fe, NM 87505.  New Earth offers some of the most beautiful and unusual orchids in the southwest and will soon be displaying and selling Portagrow products as well.   Their website link is http://www.newearthorchids.com
We are very excited to be associated with these fine retailers and hope you will visit them soon.  Both owners are very knowledgeable and always willing to offer advice on growing and the right kinds of orchids for your growing environment.
 
Portagrow will soon have our HO T5 grow lights listed on a highly regarded orchid supply website http://www.orchidlight.com.  They offer a wide variety of orchid supplies and we are looking forward to being included as one of their product suppliers.

We have been asked many times about offering smaller Pocket Greenhouse models; in the near future we will be introducing two new models that will fit our two tier, three tier,  and four tier grow stands with a much smaller footprint than our original Pocket Greenhouse.  We have been experimenting with size variations for quite awhile and are now working with our manufacturer on final design and pricing.  We hope to have these available in the fall for the Denver Orchid Society Fall show 2012.

Below are several pictures that were taken at the Denver Orchid Society spring show at Tagawa Garden, enjoy!

 

Portagrow: ON THE GO!

Hello again from Portagrow!  It's been awhile since our last post; we've been very busy changing our location and getting settled into our new space.  We are still located in Golden Colorado but our new location has more room for our plants, greenhouse, and operations.

The title of this post is Portagrow ON THE GO! because this month and next we will be involved in two Orchid Society shows.  One is the Denver Orchid Society spring show, themed: "The Orchid Round-up" at Tagawa Gardens Center, 7711 S Parker Rd Centennial Colorado 80016.  Follow this link for more information: http://denverorchidsociety.org/shows.html  The show opens on Saturday March 10th and runs through Sunday March 11th.  The DOS will be selling many varieties of beautiful orchids at the show.  They were provided by Fantasy Orchids http://www.fantasyorchids.com in Louisville Colorado,Enthropic Orchids http://enthropicorchids.com/ located in Denver Colorado, and New Earth Orchids http://www.newearthorchids.com in Sante Fe, New Mexico.  Portagrow will be selling orchids also from our display with all profits going to the Denver Orchid Society.

There are several front range orchid society displays and also many DOS member displays, all offer beautiful orchids to see and photograph.  The displays are set up and ready to go, so please come see us this weekend at the Denver show.
