Matsui Nursery

As one of the largest orchid growers in the world, Matsui Nursery offers hundreds of varieties to choose from in a range of stunning colors, shapes and sizes. The company's journey started when Andy Matsui traveled to the US from Japan in 1961 and learned how to grow mums in a one-year Farm Bureau training program. The opportunity to start his own... business coupled with the striking and vast expanses of California had Andy hooked and he soon moved permanently to California with his wife, Mary, and their first daughter - now Matsui Nursery's president - Teresa Matsui. When Andy founded Matsui Nursery in 1967, he set out to make the world a more beautiful place. He soon purchased 50 acres in California's Salinas Valley and put up the company's first greenhouses. The company grew chrysanthemums, then roses. In the 1990s, Andy got interested in orchids and started to grow them on large scale. In 1998, the company converted the company's nursery to growing orchids and became a pioneer in the industry when the company started the nation's first orchid grocery retail program that year. We're delighted to bring easy-care, long-lasting orchids to the company's customers throughout North America." Today the company's expert greenhouse team hand grows millions of beautiful, high-quality orchids in the Salinas Valley under the company's 2.8 million square feet of greenhouses, the equivalent of about 64 football fields. The company grow the industry's largest variety of orchids, including Phalaenopsis, Miltonias, Exotics (Oncidiums and Intergenerics), Cymbidiums, and much more.
