The cultivation of orchids is a tradition that passes from mother to son and, since 1996, is the hobby of Luiz Bordignon. Almost 11 years later the hobby was turned into a business with the aim of bringing the beauty of orchids to people and helping to preserve the species. Currently, the Orquidário Americana has 1.2 thousand m² of greenhouses, about 500 species and more than 70 thousand plants, which are sent all over Brazil.
