Support Florida SunCoast Orchids Recovery

Dear orchid friends. The Myakka greenhouse was hit again with so much destruction, and so many things have been lost!! I'd like to try and recover but honestly I need your help. Your monetary funds will be used exclusively for restoration, labor, and materials to rebuild the greenhouse and grounds. Much needs to be done.

There was never insurance to be had ever. The previous hurricanes, Irma, Ian , now Milton etc. have completely wiped out my funds. I've managed to come back only a little from environmental disasters... but this one is beyond me alone.

Electrical is mangled. Many of the old benches are beyond repair. Many new seedlings and mature plants are destroyed. The greenhouse drop curtains and fiberglass sidewalls are broken and useless in some parts. Debris and junk must be removed from the property. A dozen or more trees are down. Other issues as well.

The business, located near Myakka FL, ( not Parmalee ) had the eyewall go directly overhead. Consequently it was hit twice. Any contribution would be appreciated and welcome. Thank you for your love and help.
