A Clear, Professional Approach
Every orchid collection, landscape, and project presents different goals, conditions, and challenges. Florida Orchid Advisory begins by understanding what you want to accomplish and develops the scope of our services around the specific needs of your project.
From the initial consultation through assessment, recommendations, sourcing, implementation support, or long-term advisory, our process is designed to provide clear expectations, practical guidance, and professional expertise at every stage.
The Process
1. Initial Inquiry
Tell us about your collection, property, landscape, or project and what you're looking to accomplish. We'll gather the basic information needed to understand your needs and determine whether Florida Orchid Advisory is the right fit.
2. Discovery & Scope
We'll discuss your goals, challenges, timeline, and the type of professional support your project may require. From there, we'll establish the recommended scope of services, deliverables, and associated fees before work begins.
3. Consultation & Assessment
We evaluate the collection, property, growing environment, or project according to the agreed scope. Depending on the engagement, this may include plant and collection assessment, environmental measurements, site evaluation, water or growing-media evaluation, landscape considerations, photographs, and other relevant observations.
4. Recommendations & Reporting
Our findings are translated into clear, practical recommendations tailored to your objectives and site conditions. Depending on the project, this may include written reports, species recommendations, collection plans, environmental targets, sourcing strategies, placement guidance, or prioritized next steps.
5. Implementation & Project Support
When additional support is needed, Florida Orchid Advisory can remain involved as the recommendations move forward. Services may include orchid sourcing and acquisition, vendor coordination, landscape integration, placement guidance, and installation oversight while working alongside the client's landscape, horticultural, or other project professionals.
6. Follow-Up & Long-Term Advisory
Our involvement can end with a single consultation or continue as the collection, landscape, or project develops. Follow-up assessments, ongoing collection advisory, recovery planning, environmental evaluations, acquisition planning, and periodic strategic reviews are available as needed.
