Celebrate Just Add Ice Orchids’ 5-Year Anniversary Today [Giveaway]

If you were to swing by the Just Add Ice Orchids offices, you’d notice the folks around here have a little extra pep in their step today. Why? It’s our anniversary! March 10, 2014 marks five years since Just Add Ice Orchids were made available in retail stores to customers like you!

When couples celebrate their 5-year anniversary, they exchange gifts made of wood. And while we’ll be sure to gift one another fresh potting media for re-potting our orchids this spring, we thought an even better gift would be to share a few of our exciting achievements with you! Check out how Just Add Ice Orchids has grown throughout the last five years below.

Orchid Greenhouse Acreage

Grown by Green Circle Growers, one of the largest greenhouse operations in the Midwest, the Just Add Ice Orchids project began with just 3.5 acres. Today, Just Add Ice Orchids take up an expansive 25 acres!
